Introducing Hugh Gene O’Reilly (1929-57) – guitarist, songwriter (1957)


Year

1957


Story

While following an ambulance that Isaac was in, he crashed his car into a tree. This instance is believed to have led writer Kurt Vonnegut Jr to a similar scene in his novel 'Slaughterhouse Five'. Being a staunch communist, rumours abounded that Hugh's brakes were tampered with. So it goes. Isaac woke up in the hospital to the news and drifted away from his love of songwriting for many years.
