| Thanks for posting - this completely escaped me. I've had a hard time keeping track of everything that's gone wrong the last two years. Very sad, way too early. RIP Jamie. |

| Thanks Jim and Craig for the reminder. It took a few minutes to remember Jamie. I remember the O'Kane's with great admiration. |

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.

| George's cut of "Cold Hard Truth" is one of my favorite country songs of all time. And in my opinion it's one of George's best vocal performances as well |

So sorry to hear this, I really loved the O'Kanes.

I missed this too. I bought "Rise Above It" on the strength of Cold Hard Truth as a single. Great album, not a bad song on it and I still play it a lot. He was a great song writer and a damn fine singer too.
