Comment:

Roy Orbison takes center stage in this compilation of Sad songs about loosing a person we loved. As indicated under the song titles, eleven of the songs chosen here have been in previous mixes. This effort is similar in vein to my mix "Songs of Love in Shades of Blue", but it was more personal this time. I was inspired to produce this creation after watching the movie Brokeback Mountain and then, shortly thereafter, hearing about the death of Barry "JT" Rogers (who unfortuntely will likely be remembered more as infamous rather than as famous). This mix is dedicated to him.
