Anyway, we have been losing a lot of old school musicians lately it seems! Okay I just heard the video, no - the song we were busting on wasn't this one. It was a real slow paced song, and I think it had a tacked on string section.
Troy Gentry of the group "Montgomery Gentry dead today as well. Helicopter crash just hours before a concert in New Jersey. I loved the very melancholy song "Old Coyote Town". It's about a son talking about his dad growing old in the song of the title where the singer was raised. It made me think about my daddy. Then again lately almost everything does. Especially this week.
