[@911bluemonday8]

Tom sang this song from the back seat of my Camaro as I drove him from bar to bar in Phoenix to sing and help promote him new L.P. and get more radio airplay on the west coast. I was the morning D.J. on a country music station in Phoenix. What a night, what a memory and what a treat! Thanks Tom, I guess it worked pretty good. W. Steven Martin Broadcasters Hall of Fame!

RIP Tom T Hall, you brought a tear to my eye hearing this song, because of my father playing this when I was a kid. You brought happiness to many, over the years. When you get up there and settled, look up my dad and his old buddy Reggie Waters and play this song for them. Godspeed Sir.

[@gregadams6055]

One of my favorite singers as well and songwriters but the way he went out, I don't know if you'll be up there or not

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.

[@sandyb2379]

Oh wow that was really gracious of him! Today security would remove the fan and that would be it unfortunately..

I just wonder who the 91 people are who dislike this. Tom T Hall is what Country Music is about. Love the Storyteller

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

[@MsDellis1]

My dad loved this song when I was growing up. I didn't like it myself, now 30 years later here I am trying to listen to it everyday. My dad was 65 years and 11 months old when he passed away. I like to make myself believe he is really in Miami drinking on some watermelon wine. I miss you daddy

Isn't it crazy that we never fully appreciate those things when there happening. But they create an anchor to the past that we can visit anytime we want and remember when times were simpler..alot of my family loved that song that are no longer with me...I miss those times

Still listening Tom!! January 2024.

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.

@@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.

Heard this on the radio as a young kid i I loved it. As a old man I just cried.

[@rjs2005]

For my money, there has never been a greater songwriter and/or storyteller than Tom T. No one paints a vivid image with his words and music quite like him- I feel as if I'm in the room when the story happened when I listen to him, and this might be the greatest rendition of this song I've ever heard. Rest in Peace Tom T., you sure left the world a legacy like no other.

[@shanegillespie6014]

To see how captivated the audience was during the performance says it all.

[@theharpeth]

I watched this and cried like a baby. Most touching performance I’ve ever seen.

A well told story. A story of only three things, yet it is heard and still echoes to our thoughts, raising memories of loss and regret.

I just noticed this video, but I wasn't aware that Tom T.Hall had passed away; This wonderful song he wrote, I first heard it when It was released, & I was 12 years old at the time, & I've loved this song ever since. This country performer was one of a kind, & he will be missed by all of us who loved his music! RIP Mr. Hall, we miss you already!
