     (AP) – A concert to close out the first Johnny Cash Heritage

Festival will take place in an Arkansas field where the music legend picked

cotton as a youth.

     The Jonesboro Sun reports that the October concert will be held in a field

adjacent to Johnny Cash’s restored boyhood home in Dyess. The small town in

northeast Arkansas is about 50 miles north of Memphis, Tennessee.

     The concert will feature Cash’s oldest daughter, Rosanne Cash, and Kris

Kristofferson.

     The festival is scheduled to run from Oct. 19 through Oct. 21. Along with the

concert, the festival will also feature a symposium at the Dyess Colony Circle,

regional music in the Colony Circle, a Memories of a Lifetime oral history

project, arts and crafts booths, and demonstrations.
