[EricEbac22]

One of the greatest storytellers--no, THE greatest storyteller--in the history of country music.

[kaboomritz1]

I always keep the Tom T. Hall music close at hand when I need a good lift.

[Glinkaism1]

Here's how I heard the song, from a different source.

It's faster horses

Younger women

Stronger whiskey

Old dogs

And pick up trucks!

That's from Ted Young, an old waddy from Rugby North Dakota!

intresting how he holds his guitar. not that I know anything about guitars or anything else musical. someone once said I may not know art but I know what I like, and I like this thanks for uploading this great song.

@123456789mischief - I have heard others comment about the way he holds his guitar. It's a bit unusual and I believe I once heard Tom T. explain why he holds it that way on some country music program on tv. But, I cannot remember his explanation. Mr. Hall has been described by the media as the Hemingway of country music and I agree. His catalog of songs, that dates back to the mid 1960's, is an American treasure. I appreciate your comments. In regard to this art form, I say you have good taste.

@123456789mischief he holds it that way because he learned to play with a guitar strap, that's just to keep it up to where he can play it when standing ;)

FANTASTIC PICS. THANK YOU. Would love to see more like this.

@djbullet985 - Thanks for your kind words. I've uploaded about 19 Tom T. Hall videos this past month which are the first I've ever put together or posted on YouTube. I intend to create a series that recognize, what I call, the pioneers of Country Music. They seem to be forgotten, at times, by the very industry they helped create - an industry with humble beginnings that grew into a wealth machine. I hope the caliber of my work is at the level these American legends deserve.
