Nine Times Blue performed on The Johnny Cash Show, May 6, 1969
This is my favorite version of the song. It’s so stripped down, and that fits it’s nature. Davy’s and Micky’s harmonies with Mike are a wonderful addition. The emotion is perfectly captured. It’s so beautiful 💙

- The P-47 is a big single-engine fighter. Very big. You realize it seeing it in a museum next to other planes. Nice comparison chart vs. Spitfire, P-51, Mitsubishi Zero, FW-190, Bf-109, etc.

Galveston: In 1900, Galveston, population 36,000, was obliterated, making it the site of the worst natural disaster in US history, a sad record it retains to this day. 6,000 to 12,000 were killed, thousands of buildings wiped out, etc. 1/

: Retrieving Titanic's artifacts is VERY BIG BUSINESS that's already grossed over $200 million. But how they collect them? Is it just using remotely operated vehicles / robots / ROVs?
