"Hello in There"
"Donald and Lydia"
or "There's a hole in daddy's arm where all the money goes..."
all by John Prine on his first record
Also "Bride 1945" by Paul Siebel
<sigh> but the absolute most depressing song ever: Sammy's Song by David Bromberg.

I guess everybody has a song that seems almost like it's a part out of there life but a song that always got to me was My Son's Golden Guitar by Bill Anderson. I had a brother that played lead guitar in a country band and was killed in a car/train accident around the same time this song came out, he never played in any big name bands but was a really good lead guitarist. Bill Anderson also puts alot of feeling into the song...

I've got an old LP by Hank Snow called "When Tragedy Struck" and the whole damn thing is tear tuggers. My favorite is a song called "Little Buddy" about a little boy who's dog gets run over by a car. It's also got some classics like "THe Letter Edged in Black".

Daddy Don't You Walk So fast...WAHHHHHHHHHH

Curly playing "Long Black Limo" I don't recall hearing another instrument match this level of emotion. Some violins have come close but this one takes the prize.

Check out John Paychecks "The Old Violin"
It has to be right near the top for saddest.
Listen to the words, feeling and music and picture the scenario...It'll get to you........

How about "When Your House Is Not A Home" by Little Jimmy Dickens featuring some beautiful steel work especially the turn around by the late great Jimmy Day? Neil
