And it will not be the end. A few days after Sheet & Tube's announcement, U.S. Steel said it would lay off 200 workers at its Youngstown plant.

He broke into the honky-tonk circuit 20-odd years ago, playing broken-bottle clubs like the County Dump and the Bloody Bucket outside Fort Worth, where chicken wire protected the performers from airborne bottles. In 1960 he moved to Nashville and spent the next twelve years writing hits for other performers: Crazy for Patsy Cline, Hello Walls for Faron Young and standards like Funny How Time Slips Away...
