Sorry for your loss, Sonny. He was a good one! With the beat on Peggy Sue as evidence, I can imagine your dashboard took quite a pounding.

Titled " More Than I Can Say " that Jerry Allison & Sonny Curtis my old friends wrote together. I recorded this 30 years ago and now I release it 2022. RIP Jerry & Sonny.

I think Sonny Curtis has passed unless there is another.

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....
