Tom T. Hall made a big impression on my life in the sixties and following decades. I wanted to write songs as a young boy. I never learned music. My parents couldn't afford to have me taught music or buy me an instrument. But still, I wrote songs. I became a lyricist. I wrote stories to sing. I had demos made and pitched them to publishers in Australia, America and in Canada. Quite a few were contracted but went no further. Now in my seventies I collaborate with a musician friend. We write for the love and pleasure of crafting songs. Thank you, Mr. Hall, Tom T. Thanks for sharing your great gift!
I had been looking for watermelon wine all summer but the stores didn't have it. And I couldn't get the song out of my head. Finally, I found a bottle at a neighborhood store. That was last Friday, the day he died.
Isn't it ironic that this is posted just a few weeks before Tom's untimely death , it's as if this gentleman had a perception of what was just around the corner , it's posts like this that help to remind us of what we once had and what we are never likely to see again , thanks for the post
It's interesting that Tom T. Hall's biography was one of the first I read when I started this RUclips channel. I've enjoyed learning more about him ever since.
Christopher, once again thanks for your comments, I'm an Australian and have been fortunate enough to have attended shows in the states and in Australia of many of the great singers and was so lucky in the late eighties to see a show in Branson Missouri where both Tom T and George Jones were on the same show,I got to meet Tom after the show and found him to be so humble ,he seemed to get quite embarrassed when people mentioned him when discussing the greats , but I am sure he need not have felt that way because that's where he belongs amongst the best , regards and thanks
The Year Clayton Delaney Died is my favorite! I play that one all the time. He had great story songs, but the way he plays guitar annoys the hell out of me

Thank you for this video!
God Bless You Always! 🙂
Tom was loved by millions whether he knew it or not
My favorite Tom T. Hall song is "Faster Horses". There's just something about that old cowboy's wisdom that always appealed to me.
It's August 20, 2021 and I just heard the sad news. RIP Tom T. Hall. Thank You For The Stories.
I just heard this as well. Such a long and meaningful life he lived! He contributed so much to the world of country music and will be missed.
I truly enjoyed this; Tom T. is in a class of his own.
Glad you enjoyed it. I really liked reading his book and learning more about him.
This is amazing! These stories are so informative! You got all the details to perfection. Thank you! Tom's my hero!
Certainly glad you are enjoying them! Thanks for checking in!
I live in Olive Hill. We are so proud . Yet sad . If you all want to come visit , we have Carter Caves State Resort Park .
I really do need to visit sometime. It would be a great trip. Thanks for checking in.
Born in Olive Hill, 83 years ago, still miss the old home town
He wrote Harper Valley PTA???? Wow!!

It is such a great song. And I love the way he sang it. Thanks for dropping in.

Kick ass video
Your words are encouraging and I appreciate it!
"depression" that's the stuff you go through because you care about everyone and you realise that -not everyone cares like you do.
RIP
All classic hits songs, Tom T Hall past away Aug 20,2021 on Nashville news breaking today
Yes, I just heard this a few minutes myself. He was such a great songwriter and a down to earth guy. He will be missed, and left behind such a legacy.
I have been trying to get the song by Tom called the Whittler but haven’t had any success.can you get it
I have looked around too...I have found the lyrics but not the song.
