I cried because I had no shoes, then I met a man who had no feet.
Today is tomorrow's Good ol' days

There's Sonny Curtis who wrote "I Fought The Law","Walk Right Back" and many others, and played with Buddy Holly. There's Sonny Curtis the steel player who worked for George Jones. Songwriter Sonny Curtis is still with us at 85, Steel player Sonny Curtis passed away a couple of years ago.
I'm so sorry to hear Jerry Allison has left the building....
