Woo wee! This video caps off my 8 songs in 8 days series. I managed to pull it off somehow and I figured a Johnny Cash cover on the Carver Americana Banjo was the perfect finale. I hope everyone enjoyed the series.

Thanks for watching Dave. That's terrible news about Berry's home. I'm glad Ring of Fire survived though. It seems fitting.

Nicely done Kale. I’ve a story for you. A friend and super musician, Berry Percola, collects record players and guitars and records. He had a tragic house fire. Mostly smoldering as the home was shut up tight. Well when the fire was put out and the damage done, one of his record players had a stack of records on it with Ring of Fire on top of the stack. It was all crinkled but the label remained readable.

Thanks Scotty. I'm not gonna say it's better than JC but I enjoyed playing it.

Very cool! Better than the original :)

Thanks BrianQ and Doug. I figured Johnny Cash would be a strong finisher.

Great to hear the Carver banjo Kale. I like the mellower tone more than that of the traditional banjo. I also like the way you play the riff on Ring of Fire; I’ll have to try it out! It looks easier. Great song to finish the series with! Can’t go wrong with Johnny Cash.

9 Days a Week would've been a good closer but it didn't seem to translate well to the banjo. I really wanted to use the banjo for the last song.
