    In February 1969, #JohnnyCash had a party at his house (that) turned into a guitar pull, with some of Johnny's friends trying out their latest songs. " #BobDylan sang 'Lay Lady Lay,'" recalled Cash. " #KrisKristofferson sang 'Me and Bobby McGee.' #JoniMitchell sang 'Both Sides Now.' #GrahamNash sang 'Marrakesh Express.' And #ShelSilverstein sang 'A Boy Named Sue.'"
