Tom T was a genius song writer and singer

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Tom T. Hall is among the greats in country songwriting. This is awesome. Thanks for sharing this reaction video. Cheers! ✌️

[@rogerdickerson6924]

I've heard this song for decades, and wondered mightily what the nurse actually told him... A condition not uncommon, could be fun to fun to experience!

[@davidemswiler4351]

As great a songwriter as Tom T. Hall was, he didn't have to flex too much to write this one...its a true story from his time serving in the Army. Good pick Dan...perfect song to dedicate to a young son!

[@JeffreyTappan-bb8rr]

First time I heard this I was in Germany in the Army.

[@c.epperson1549]

Do “Pay No Attention to Alice” or “Turn it On, Turn it On, Turn it On” by Tom T. Hall. Great Kentucky man.

[@johndavidson5228]

First time hearing this song. i liked it and almost anything else that Tom T. Hall. Thanks for another good one, Dan and Don.

[@willieboy3011]

As a Regular Army soldier stationed in Germany for nearly 3 years back in the 70s, I always got a kick out of this. You would not believe how many soldiers we had there. Some guys did a year in Vietnam, and then finished up in Deutschland. Thier beer was so good. Machts nicht means it doesn't matter to me. Yes, his interjections make the song.

[@rogersmith626]

Love this as my dad was a Tom T. fan. His stories, more often than not, move like this. Good reaction

[@chrisdickens8233]

My uncle used to play this sitting around the kitchen table; just him and his guitar

[@mattgalardo2022]

Song has the rhythm of a train. Really cool! Thanks for a great reaction as always, Don.

[@dansigurdson]

Yes Don Rick has heard this before said it was his favorite belive it or not all my kids heard growing up was ( horseshit and gunsmoke ) music thanks Don ... HAKAD

[@ervklein6086]

I love whenever you do Tom T. Because he’s one of my favorites. Check out “Little Lady Preacher” or if you want to see a more serious side of him, “Daddy, kill a chicken”

[@ervklein6086]

Second song is actually, “Mama bake a pie”

[@TheGarretdeas]

Tom was a very astute observer of life and many of his songs were based on real-life incidents that he found himself in. This song is perhaps one of his lesser-known classics and reminds me very much of "Ballad Of Forty Dollars". Another excellent reaction/rating, Don, and keep rockin' dat country dude.

Golden oldie and it is still sounden good 👍

[@Code9]

One hot summer day in the 1970s I was on the North Cascades Highway, on my way from Seattle up to the touristy little "cowboy" town of Winthrop (home of the infamous "3-Fingered Jack's" saloon). One particular stretch of the curving, narrow old 2-lane highway was bordered by high, rough, rocky cliffs with lots of boulders (big and small) along the bottom that had tumbled down from above over time. On one of those boulders (maybe 2'x3' in size) someone had spray-painted, in rusty orange, "Tom T. Hall was here". Being a huge fan of Tom T. it brought a grin to my face as I cruised on by. But I couldn't help wonder (and I still wonder to this day), did Tom T. Hall actually write that? I like to think he did and that maybe there's a great story behind it that we'll never know.

[@geofredotappan9777]

I served in the Army in the 80s and I was introduced to the song then.

[@jcat__]

Love Tom T Hall songs. Like you said Don, you never know where he is going with it.

[@terrywoodyyc]

Hadn't heard this one, but it's a winner. Don, everything you said is right on the money. Thanks Dan, great choice (I liked it way more than Psycho!). And thanks Don for another stellar reaction!!!

[@RockN2Country]

@Terry Wood Ha!! Psycho was horrible!!

[@churchofhakad5811]

@@RockN2Country there would be no good without bad, what would you compare it to ... HAKAD

[@piglyglyn]

My favorite Tom T Hall song!

[@theh2ohammer372]

love that song. have it on an LP 33 1/3. the song sets you in Germany, after world war 2, during the occupation. great song. Don, please do Tom T. Hall, "Shoeshine man".

[@geofredotappan9777]

Have you heard " The running kind" from Noel and Ben Haggard? Enough said. If you never have, listen to it.

[@geofredotappan9777]

Macht nichts is what he said. Literally, no big deal.
