I saw Tom T Hall in concert Ponderosa Park in northeast Ohio back around 1983 and during the show he sang I like beer and a girl walked up to the stage and handed him up a beer and security grabbed her and removed her from the park. Tom was furious and stopped the show and said he would not continue until that girl was brought back and ordered security to go find her and bring her back. In the meantime he told the audience that he would not stand for any fan of his to be mistreated so he waited quite a while must have been 20 to 30 minutes all the while demanding that girls return. Finally the girl was brought back and Tom T Hall brought her on stage and sang a song just for her. The crowd cheered as loud as I'd ever heard. That was the kind of man he was. His audience meant everything to him.

I’ve heard this song all through my life growing up, but I’ve never heard it performed as well as he did in this version with just him. Truly a gem.

[@terrymartin2092]

On this fathers day,i can remember my dad listening to tom and all the other legends whenever he could. Every time I listen to real country music like this i think of him and remember how much he loved it..he had good taste ! Tks for the memory

Long live country music

"I remember the day Clayton Delaney died" is my favorite. Now fans sadly remember the day Tom T Hall died.

Just another beautiful legend fading away from us.Country music doesn't get any better than this.

Hi Susan

[@genevievekinzer869]

Years since I heard this song. Loved it at first hearing and love hearing it now. Tom T Hall has such an unusual voice that makes a great singer and entertainer.

I’m gonna have to put in for early retirement if I don’t put my phone down. I literally could listen to this music 8 hours a day. God bless all of you greats for what you have given all of us.

[@fredstopper9906]

I am sorry. I did not know he passed. He was a great influence on my growing up . My Grandfather introduced me to country music early on and he was one of my favorites

I'm listening with tears 😭 in my eyes! It's like listening to a beautiful story. I'm 22 years old.

[@patriciaakande110]

You are sweet!

[@tamaravalladon1005]

This is one of the many songs that I grew up with. Tom T. Hall was one of my dads favorite artists. I played this for him when he was on hospice. Still bring joy to my heart and tears to my eyes he passed away October 29, 2022.

[@markradzwion5547]

He is 84 years old this year, and all I can say is this man is a gift from God, to country music. He is priceless, and there aren't many like him left! Treasure this people.

[@gregadams6055]

It's a shame what happened to him after you wrote this. Cannot believe he would do this to himself

[@Mikebaillie2024]

@@gregadams6055it is sad and unfortunately likely more then him handled COVID this way at first

[@gregadams6055]

@@Mikebaillie2024 I think I read that his autopsy showed a certain drug in there that he used to take to prevent him from drinking. I forgot the name of it. He struggled with alcohol addiction his whole life. He must have had a relapse or something.

@@gregadams6055 maybe you are right not trying to start an argument but I thought I heard something about it being Covid related maybe I’m wrong
