His brother walked the line and topped the charts. This weekend, a member of the Cash family is in Mandan. Tommy Cash, well-known as the brother of Johnny Cash, performed Saturday evening with his band The Cash Crew.

This is Cash`s third time in Mandan. He became friends with Mandan resident Louie Zachmeier eight years ago when he surprised Zachmeier on his birthday with a musical performance.

On Friday night, Cash and his band practiced in a home near Mandan.

"I stay on tour, but I don`t do as many shows as I used to. I used to do 200 shows a year but now I only do about 75, maybe 100 at the most each year. Because I`m getting older now. I like to spend a lot of time at home," Cash said.

Tommy is the youngest member of the Cash family. His biggest hit single is "Six White Horses," a song he dedicated to John and Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King Jr.
