Johnny Cash

[Dr. Shane]

My mother told me that she heard on Christian radio that both Johnny Cash and his wife had become Seventh-day Adventists. Does anyone know anything about this?

Exactly what religion Johnny Cash was appears to have been kept very private. I can find no mention of him having belonged to any particular church.

I know that their son was born in our hospital in TN and that they donated money to redo the waiting room in the maternity area.

As I remember it, he did a special on his trip to Israel, and I think that he read exerpts from Desire of Ages. Do not quote me as this being fact. It just came from my memory bank so I do not think that I am making it up. No sign of Alzheimers as yet.

That was quite a few years ago but it shows that he had some contact with SDA's.

A little more hearsay... My greatgrandmother was friends with the nanny that the Johnny and his wife hired to care for one of their sons - so my mother tells me. And the nanny was a Seventh-day Adventist and shared the sabbath with them.

About the nanny--my brother, who was going to school in Nashville, stayed with the mother of the nurse who was present when John Carter Cash was born. She had been specifically requested. I'm not sure if that is the same lady or not. She was an SDA.
