It's a big loss for the world of music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mandolin Picker Posted April 6, 2016 Members Share Posted April 6, 2016 He was a voice for the 'working man' in country music. During that time period, he was one of the blue collar singers on the radio. Actually got to see him as a kid in the old (now closed) Sunset Park outdoor venue in Pennsylvania. Always liked him. Probably one of my favorite songs of his was 'Momma Tried'. Seemed to apply in one way or another to a lot of folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
