This is like when we lost Rip Torn and Rip Taylor 3 months apart. Let's not forget the other Frank Field who died last July.

I also liked to say that Clarence "Frogman" Henry was my equivalent of the Ifield pick. He really timed this perfectly.

Hit me a little with this one. My Dad was a pretty avid country listener growing up, and he had a few tapes of Oak Ridge Boys.  Made me miss my dad who died in 2020
