Tiger,

Yes, that's a good one. Merle had a number of really sad songs. "If we make it through December" still gets me whenever I hear it on the raido.

It's funny how a song will get to you even when you don't want it to. The Country Geltlemen's tune (John Duffy?) "Bringing Mary Home" uses every cheap offensive trick in the book to illicit an emotional reaction from the listener and, even though I know I'm being had, it can still get to me once in a while. I guess I'm fundamentally a sap.
