- This video Episode DSG #73 is about Da Spa Guy visiting Brian & Sally Oxleys Storytellers Museum in Bon Aqua Tennessee.. The build was owned by Johnny Cash and used as a Recording Studio as well as a family gathering place for events... Don't forget to Subscribe..
My grandpa was Johnny's best friend and Farm aid since Johnny had it in 1971. He told us so may great stories of him and Johnny. Johnny once said when asked in an interview "If you could trade your life with anyone who would it be?" He replied with "Luther Fleaner". God I miss him.
This was so cool! Johnny Cash's Grandson singing for you! You getting to play that piano was great to see too.
WOW...this was amazing again. His grandson did sound just like him. The history in that building. Thank you again
I love hearing stories about Johnny Cash, Elvis Presley and even Carl Perkins. Jerry Lee Lewis is ok, I enjoy hearing about him too. Hey Spa Guy, I didn't know you could play and sing, you ought to make a video singing your favorites, it would be an honor to hear you sing.
I was so blessed to get to see June Carter and Johnny Cash in concert in Oakdale Ca in 1996. My mom and dad were huge fans. I took my cell phone with me and called my mom, who was terminally ill with cancer , held up the phone, let her listen and told her "I came to the concert FOR you since you aren't feeling up to it. " Then I just let her listen. She was so thrilled.
You are a very special soul!
God bless you always 🙏🥺
Looking forward to the gospel music festival this weekend! Thank you for showing us this true Gem!
What a fun project. And wow, Thomas does sound a lot like his grandfather. Hurt is a great song - Johnny's cover is my favorite version!
I lived right down the road from Johnny I meet him when I was like 13 or 14 at east food Mart he was driving a camouflage like jeep he was a good man never will forget him
Just found this for the first time. I loved that he mentioned Dickson. That was my dad's old stomping grounds. Very interesting tour. Loved Johnny Cash.
That building and the land around it was owned by Red Wortham, who opened one of the first studios in Nashville and founded Sur-Speed Records there. When he got older and tired of the rat race, he moved to Bon Aqua and turned the old railroad station into a recording studio. He even bought some record pressing machines to make his own records. Age and ill health forced him into closing the studio, and some years later Lester Purdy and I took a crack at running it. We ran it for probably a year and a half as a sort of sideline to our band, but there was never much business way out there in the sticks. Mostly it was local church groups and a few Country singers and songwriters. Where you sat to play the piano was where the recording console was, behind a wall with a glass window. On the stage was the vocal booth, and a drum booth stood along the right hand wall as you looked from the control room. After Red died, his son let the place go and the old "Bon Aqua Sound" studio fell into disrepair. I always hoped that somebody would do something with the place, and I'm very happy to see that somebody finally did. I hope the new owners do well there. Bon Aqua has a lot of history besides the studio and Johnny Cash, and it would be good if more people knew about it.
Kris, I bet Bryan would like to hear from you about what the set up was there and some of the history.. my email is billy@thesgnetwork.com
Another awesome video. Everyone loves Johnny Cash..
Thank you Spa Guy! Loved the piano. Your really good! I enjoyed this!
He does sound like Johnny. I love that song hurt. It’s great the Cash family still have these places.
his grandson sounds so much like him , thanks for posting
Amazing how much Thomas sounds like his grand daddy Johnny...wow!
Yeppers, that dude had an acceptable Johnny Cash Voice. Worth going to hear & experience the place.
Thank you for sharing this! I really enjoyed it.
Johnny Cash was my inspiration to be a songwriter and singer.His voice was one of a kind. He couldn't hit the high notes or do a good train wooo wooo...Hurt was the last song of his I had to learn.
Great video... I live 5 minutes from this place, and have for most of my life. I can confirm that this building was rescued from the dead, basically. I was always fascinated by it because I knew there was history with Johnny Cash. It was falling down, quite literally, and these folks did a great job rescuing it. I remember when they uncovered the old Coca Cola signage on the side, and I don't think anyone knew it was there. This place is a great gem out in the middle of the country, for sure. Here's a piece of trivia... anyone remember the signs either on or around this building (can't remember) that used to say "Bon Aqua Sound"?
Still live out there? Just curious because I’m moving to the area soon! (Not creepy stocker!)
I’m just checking out videos on the area!
@@famlauriek7353 Still live in the area, yes. This is one of the only things in the area I can think of that would be a big attraction for a lot of people, but there is a ton of great backroad riding if you're into that. Lots of creeks and dirt roads.
He sounds just like his grandfather. So beautiful.
Oh my Goodness that voice. Sooooo good to hear
It is indeed in the genes
I love Tennessee,it's so pretty,& you can grow almost anything!i love that building & the land around it! The old buildings had so much character!
great video so really well done i have my evening planned and that is to settle in and watch as many videos as i can, Tenn is such a beautiful state
I love this guy.... he does wonderful work..thank you so much for all the memories.. thank you DSG for everything.. love you. shirley from florida
the Cash homehouse is amazing! Love the old wood and the stone beautiful!! Johnny really loved his mom to have went to such trouble to build her such a beautiful home!
This is an amazing video! You are a great singer, piano player!
Also loved hearing Johnny's Grandson sing! He sounds so much like him!
Looking forward to more about Johnny and more of your singing!
Thank You so Much Bonnie I have a bunch more on Johnny that am working on Stay Tuned.. Spa Guy
Spa guy great video as usual. Wish it was longer. My favorite TH-cam channel is SPA GUY! And I'm subscribed to several dozen. Yours is the best by far!
Wow Billy! Just ran across this, somehow I missed it. I never knew you also played the piano but it shouldn’t surprise anyone, it was wonderful! Really enjoyed it along with your singing. Too bad you didn’t get the movie part but I’m glad cause you may not have started your videos that we so enjoy. God Bless you Billy and your family. Watched you since day one💜💜💜

I need to see this place. Amazing
It's amazing how Johnny Cash's grandson sounds just like Johnny himself
Still complete guy !
Merci beaucoup
Smacking on Pringle’s lol. Nice piano playing!
8/15/20 .....Great enjoyed this....please do more..... his grandson sounds just like Johnny......and I love it when you played the piano and sung a line of He stopped loving her today....by George Jones....that is my fav song of them all......I love that song..... thanks for doing these videos....
Another great job spa guy
Thanks for the song, it was beautiful to listen. My cat was listening to you too. You didn't know you played the piano and the guitar. I heard you singing at Lauderdale Courts too.
I recently found out I am a distant relative of June Carter Cash. Her grandmother is my 3 times great. I honestly can't think of anyone more cooler to be related to. I would love to find more information about her and my family and visit these places.
Watch Trey's video about her house here.. th-cam.com/video/m9g6StsZa-s/w-d-xo.html
Great piano playing.
Cool ! And you are a fantastic piano player. Your are so blessed to have such talent. Clearly you need to be using your talent Mr. Billy Stallings, the Spa Guy. Have relatives with that good old southern name Billy. Billy and not short for William. Enjoy your videos. God Bless.
Thank You Lyn.. My new album is about to come out and I will be going on tour next month and will make a video telling where I'll be.. Spa Guy
Nice piano, and playing.
How very special. Thank you for sharing.
Daaaaaaaamn he sounds just like Johnny
This was a cool video, I just found it by mistake. I'm actually personal friends with Thomas Gabriel, I'm friends with him also through Facebook and a lot of his family too. It's pretty cool I grew up listening to Johnny Cash, who would ever think I would actually become friends with his actual family members. Isn't God wonderful? I met Thomas through Whey Jennings and whey though Tammy Long Carolus.
That's Cool Stuff.. I know Thomas.. He is Great.. I have a video a will probably release on him soon..
Another spectacular video!
I knew there was something about you that I couldn't put my finger on! I didn't know you played piano, especially on the Grand Ole Opry stage! That's awesome!
My wife plays piano...I bought her an 1895 era Baldwin upright that actually stays in tune most of the time. It has a beautiful cherry wood finish......Blah blah blah, anyway, you have a very personable personality and you remind me a lot of my kin from eastern Ky in your manner of speaking. I have a feeling that you could do something special with your talent and motivation, maybe start some kind of museum or something along those lines. I don't think selling spas is your long term calling!
Just a thought!
Thanks Jeff, I have a lot of upcoming things in my future and Thanks for the encouragement.. It means a lot, Spa Guy
Jeff Stone o
I definitely want to visit this place! Thanks Spa Guy!
Thomas sounds just like his grandpa!!
Cool... I did time in Old Folsom where Johnny Cash played. Lol
I am sorry you did time but what a Cool place to do it.. lol.. Thanks for watching, Spa Guy
Wow I just can’t believe what I heard from Johnny’s grandson sounds just like him just amazing I was speechless
I welded the music symbols on his gate going up to the house way back in the day
Hey buddy d.j. here I'm Lumbee Indian I live in Pembroke n.c. I love all your down loads I like the way u let us all see an here about the things we never knew x about Elvis like to meet u one day. My god bless u an your family
I Love Living in my home city of Memphis Tennessee There my mom used to be bubbles the clown for action news 5 back in the 1980s for dick Williams there and she still has the clown suit hanging up today.
Spa Guy you should do a CD there man you are really good there.
Your video's are like lays potatoes you can't watch just one😀i absolutely love music history thanks for taking the time to do these video's you are definitely have a talent and passion for this.thanks again Billy Harper.
Thank You Billy.. I really enjoy making them and I appreciate you watching.. Billy the Spa Guy
I sing " Run on" all the time. I do " working on the building" and most of the songs. My dad was The Kentucky Plow Boy" in the Opry. I have some practice videos on here not very good because I don't know the songs, but practicing them anyway at this unfriendly club . I can't find a place to play anymore. It's so sad that I can't sing anymore. My heart is gone. I felt so bad for June and Johnny. We were the Gentry Family at the same time as the Carters but we had a larger family if you can believe that. All so poor but had a huge farm full of food, cows, pigs etc...never starved but wore hand me downs. I have a 91 Eldorado and it dies because we have a limit of 25 MPH and I'm not sure if it's reliable out on the road. Still has under 100,000 miles on it, just can't afford to fix it. I have no family here and my older siblings in Nashville just died. I'm totally lost. No music here, nothing. My newly acquired karaoke setup is in my apartment and I'm afraid to disturb anyone. I sing Karen Carpenter because everyone said I have her voice. Guess I do, but I also sing Elvis PDG...lol. Thank all of you for doing this for the Cash/Carter family!
This is great !! Thanks for sharing this Spa Guy .
Johnny Cash he was a 💎
You're a talent in your own rite, man. I'd pay to see you in concert.
Really cool video Spa Guy!
Very nice video Billy good job and that guy was singing Johnny Cash was really good well done. #Tenebroso
I really enjoyed this. Thank you.
Thanks for watching... Spa Guy
This is just fantastic!!! Billy, you're a talented guy in addition to having a great TH-cam channel
Thanks you so much.. I plan to shoot a lot more at The Storytellers Museum and Johnny Cash's Farm as well. Stay Tuned, Spa Guy
Hi Spa Guy, got the channel from a Dutch friend. It's great to have access to "fresh" material every now and then. We traveled the south on music history tracks various times already. Unfortunately it's so far from Germany! I'm more an Elvis fan, my wife more so for Johnny. These are always great reasons to visit the south. So thank you for the great content of your videos. Happy to have a "new" source. We definitely will see this place one day soon.
Greetings over the ocean! TCB
Great to hear from you Jurgen.. Sorry I don't know how to add the two dots on you u... I have many more videos coming up.. Elvis, Johnny, McCartney, Hendrix, Cline, Brown and more.. Stay Tuned..
Wow, he sounds like Johnny
the piano sounds so beautiful and Mr Spa Guy can play it very well :)
And Johnny's grandson has his grandpa's eyes,expressions!
I lived in Bon Aqua for 11 Yrs. Am from Canada and moved back here now to Canada but I was just around the corner from Gramma Cash's place and my now deceased Grampa used to own a meat store there ( Holland and Dotson Meats). Johnny came in often and was treated as just another regular. I moved in 1998. Bet things have changed some since then.
P, I imagine things have changed a lot.. Though I have been to Bon Aqua many times I am not a regular but my friend who bought the farm and museum has a really nice place out there.. I also have a friend who plays guitar for the Oak Ridge Boys who is building a new house out there.. Thanks for watching, Spa Guy
You are welcome. I am a new subscriber and I enjoy your videos. It makes me think sometimes Iwant to come back to the south. A much calmer and more old fashioned place and people.
Billy wonderful piece. See you at the Tent at Graceland at 9:00 before we go on. You do great work and attention to detail. Thanks Again.
Ron I wanted to get over there tonight but I am across town eating with the family.. are you playing again?
No not this year Billy. We usually play several times but 2 nights is about all we can do this year. The guys gotta work Monday. We had standing Room Only. Wow, great crowd. The KATZ were loose at Graceland. We will talk. Clean Guitar. Tele with no effects or pedals just Finger Style. Love it Billy. We'll get together and pick a little.
Sounds Good Sorry I missed it.. I am in the same boat I ran all day and ran out of gas was eating with Daughter, Son-in-law and wife was planning to go back out after but too tired.. we'll meet up soon.. Spa Guy
The man singing Johnny's songs sound like Johnny!

Great video
There's another muesum in Galatin /Hendersonville TN about Johnny Cash and June but not sure it's still in operation.. Been years since I have been there since moved away. Now they are all in heaven..
That museum closed over 20 years ago..
great piano man
God Bless , great video and ppl ....found a new respect for the man in black
Spa guy mentioned he is from Hendersonville TN he should knowabout the muesum in that area.. I miss that area we had a beautiful house could see the stars at the red lights.. In the grocery stores and Shop at Bobby Bares teddy bear shop he loved to tease people no I'm not him when it was... I wish we could have stayed.
This is really good video
Look at Billy Tickling the Keys......
his grandson sounds identical
Beautiful piano playing!
Mornin Dude! :)
Wow
It looks like it is in the middle of nowhere. How many people will get to enjoy it?
The Many people who drive out there..
CAN ANYONE NAME MY COUSIN ?
MY COUSIN, used to rock Johnny's daughter as a baby, and later on stage they rocked together with others
like his friends the Beatles.The Beatles used to drive across town for one of his 45's. My cousin lived across
the river from Johnny Cash, they knew each other very well, even at sun records. Elvis had just left, and the
one time they were together, the crowd called for him instead of Elvis, so they had to stay apart for business
reasons. All the originals had to make their own way.Much later my cousin actually took up Johnny's offer
and joined his band.and they made a pact together that lasted. It changed their lives. My cousin 's name is
known by ALL those in the Rock N Roll hall of fame. Heck, music is in our family line and I myself was on
stage and TV as a kid, and played drums for 12 years. MY COUSIN replaced his brothers, with his sons.
Carl Perkins.. That's Easy!!
@@weeklyspaguy Yea for you... and any that have known the musicians. I found out that some of the family bloodline of talent came my way too. Played the drums for 12 years, was on TV and stage etc... My life took a very different turn. Being family, and friends of family, I have some very good news to all, and just need to contact people like Roseanne. C and the grandson, She knew Carl all her life.
thought that was a funny song LOVE those windows
last note about Elvis bus was sold at auction in NY 2015.
Was that Kathy´s son singing John´s songs? I'm a Dutchy lol.... missed a few lines :)
Yes Thomas Gabriel..

What in the world are you talking about?? Who would be embezzle from? He didn't work for anyone..

Johnny had a bad accountant at one point who embezzled his money. Watch this video
I wanna see the entire video lol Is this the grandson he raised ?
I don't think he raised Thomas but he did live with his parents his last 2 years of high school..
It was bought by a mobile homes specialist in Texas, the CEO of the California-based auction house Julien's Auctions 2015 for $270,000. Elvis bus was a 1959,Flexible vl 100
