Jerry Hamilton, Class of '65, passed away June 19th at age 78. Jerry, an Oak Cliff musician who played guitar in numerous bands, gained early notoriety when he and Jonny Peebles appeared in Sunset's talent show and, after being warned by Mr. Griffin not to do it, played the Nightcaps "Wine, Wine, Wine." While living in Jacksonville, Florida he became friends with fellow guitarist Gary Rossington of Lynyrd Skynard. I hope they play together on a Heavenly stage.
