I just learned Jamie O'hara passed earlier this year in January. He was one of my favorite singer/songwriters both as a member of the O'kanes and on his own.
George Jones had a hit with his tune "Cold Hard Truth".
I used to perform that tune with my band, It was a playground for pedal steel.
RIP Jamie.

Hard to forget these words and the name of the man who penned them and first sang the song:
50,000 Names
THERE'S TEDDY BEARS AND HIGH SCHOOL RINGS
AND OLD PHOTOGRAPHS THAT MAMA'S BRING
AND DADDIES WITH THEIR YOUNG BOYS PLAYING BALL
THERE'S COMBAT BOOTS - HE USED TO WEAR
WHEN HE WAS SENT OVER THERE
AND THERE'S 50,000 NAMES CARVED IN THE WALL
George Jones did a great version of it as well.
