Welcome to Smoke Sessions' Music Mondays! Today we're featuring Steve Davis' song "They Wore 44!" From Steve Davis: "This one is my tribute to a few significant number 44s: Hank Aaron, Jerry West, Reggie Jackson, Pete Marovich, George Gervin, Chuck Foreman and President Obama. My dad and late brother Pete are both Syracuse University Alumni, and the great Jim Brown wore 44 while playing there, as did Ernie Davis, the first African-American player to win the Heisman Trophy and Floyd Little. Lastly, I grew up at 44 Crary Avenue in New York!"
