Just the way Johnny Cash would have wanted it:

How else but by an adorable five year old called Wesley? Here he is at the 2009 Spring Coffee Shop Jam, at The Columbia City Theater in Seattle.

Want more cuteness? Here he is doing the “Hokey Pokey”.

    disagrees with the title.
    and the opening line.
    and he/ she [?] is wearing a who t-shirt
    wrong.
    entirely.

    can’t stand the kid either
    or ‘it’s’ parents
    not normal.
    fair point[s] ? ;)

    rubot - agreed

    Peter, a chara - there’s a chance I may be being just a tad sarcastic in the title and post, don’t cha know ;) However, fair play to him - I wouldn’t have been able to do that at 5!

    Interesting post about the fact a 5 year old is singing it over on the music teacher’s blog - http://www.heartwoodguitar.com/WordPressBlog/?p=561

    like any parent would ever let their 3 year old mod [cross breed] johnny cash influenced kid play a semi accoustic either…. and on top of that put flowers on it. now we’re into ’70′s hippy movement.

    wrong.
    bad parents.
    not normal

    just came down from the tree… going back up now :shock:
