Man, didn't know you were a country music afficianado!

I only know Johnny Cash was in it and he's gone now. No idea about who else. I'm not even sure why I remember Johnny Cash was one of 'em.

I don't think he was, didn't he just sing a song with the same title?

No WAIT! They recorded "Big River", that has to be them. Lyal Lovitt replaced Johnny Cash, didn't he? Is that the same group? Kris Kristofferson, Willie Nelson and someone else.

Damn, you're good! I googled and it was Johnny Cash, Kris Kristofferson and Willie Nelson. It would be cheating for me to tell you who the other was. :clap1:

I have no clue who the last one is. But you still got Johnny Cash!

I downloaded their performance of Big River on Lettermen, but those are the only three I remember being introduced.

Dillo gets the prize on this one. Was, indeed Judy Collins and the songs were Suite Judy Blue Eyes (Stills) and Our House (Nash).

I learned something reall cool, though while I was looking up some stuff... did you know that Phil Hartman did the CSNY logo with the intertwining letters BEFORE he was on SNL?

Thought that was cool!

OK, Dillo...take it away! Your turn to ask a question!

Sue Foley ROCKS, btw. Saw her perform a few times, amazing woman.
