On Dec. 4, 1956, Johnny Cash casually stopped into Sun Records Studio in Memphis. A young, rebellious musician named Jerry Lee Lewis was seated at the piano. Carl Perkins and Elvis Presley also stopped by. No one had any inkling that this session would become world famous. Columnist Tom Blake recounts his own experience with one-half of “The Million Dollar Quartet” — and seeing the musical of the same name — at thecapistranodispatch.com/living/on-life-and-love-after-50-the-million-dollar-quartet/article_d7c13727-aaba-410e-b98f-75cf304b45ad.html.

“Supporting our Marines is not a slogan someone earns by voting yes on whatever is placed in front of them. It is the work of ensuring that Marines and their families have safe housing, reliable child care, strong pay, quality medical care, accessible mental health services and real opportunities when they transition to civilian life,” Rep.
