"Haven't You Heard?" by Ray Pillow, or Sammi Smith-both have great cuts on this song.

I've got an old Hank Snow LP called "When Tragedy Struck" which has a song on it called "little Buddy" about a little boy who's dog got ran over. It's about the saddest d@mn thing I ever heard.

He didn't know his dog had died, so I told him as he cried.
Come with me son, we'll get that doctor right away...

If you can get a copy of this LP or a CD copy if available, you'll cry from start to finish....JH

A two hanky job by the Hag, "What have you got planned tonite Diana?"

"Well time sure does fly by doesn't it Diana
It's been almost two years now since you've been gone
Speaking of time
I guess mine's about up
Just another breath or two
And I'll be home

How about Paychecks "In Memory of a Memory". And for the old timers, my Mom had a 78 that I listened to when I was a kid, "I Saw the Wreck on the Highway But I Didn't Hear Nobody Pray". I can't remember who sung it.

Just today I was remebering a song by Dan Seals and I think Kent Robbins, Everything That Glitters Is Not Gold. I was singing it and almost cried right when it goes... "But oh sometimes I think about you...".

I think it was called, I must have done something wrong by Haggard.
Example: If I thought my hand was against you, i'd cut off my arm and walk off and leave it behind, and if I thought that you needed money, well I'd sell my own soul, and I even steal from the poor and the blind. hmmmm maybe that's one for Most Pathetic

We just played a Senior citizens home, and we closed with "Wake Up". Now what's sadder than that? Image It wentover HUGE, those folks loved it. Made me feel uncomfortable, seems to hit very close to home.
