Hmm now that's interesting. I seem to recall years ago in the Ozark Mtns hearing reports that Johnny C's folks were Arkansans. Sure enough I do know a few people with the name Cash who have connections to that State, but these folks tell me that their origins were in Ireland, and precisely in Co. Wexford Ireland. That may explain why Johnny never did settle the matter, but he did record a song about Ireland "The 40 Shades Of Green". Perhaps today the Orange tyrants over there in Scotland would have re-arranged that to be "The 40 Shades Of Orange".
