Amazing things Quote by Johnny Cash
“The first time I knew what I wanted to do with my life was when I was about four years old. I was listening to an old Victrola, playing a railroad song...I thought that was the most wonderful, amazing thing...That you could take this piece of wax and music would come out of that box. From that day on, I wanted to sing on the radio.”

![“I met Sam Phillips when he came in [studio] and I said, I'm John Cash. I'm the one who's been calling. And if you'd listen to me, I believe you'll be glad you did. And he said, come on in. That was a good lesson for me, you know, to believe in myself.” quote by Johnny Cash](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/29a/johnny-cash-1517_believe_i-met-sam-phillips-when-he-came-in-studi_126413.jpg)
