I love some of Johnny Cash's work.  Ring of Fire rocks.  But, who am I to
talk.  I also like Waylon Jennings and John Hyatt.

Hmm.  What have I seen in b&w.  I saw a lot of ST:TNG in black and white
(hehe, because I was using a b&w TV).  I've seen some old TV shows in
black and white.  I don't think I've seen any black and white movies
though.

Wait, I did see It's a Wonderful Life in black and white.  And wasn't
PI black and white?  It's not that I'm against black and white.  It's just
that I haven't seen much that is old enough or artsy enough for the most
part.  Off the top of my head, I can't think of any movies (except maybe
wonderfull life) older than the 50s, and those were apparently just when
color was new.  How to Marry a Millionnaire is great.
