RIP Tom T Hall

I saw his name was trending last night but was afraid to look. I knew but didn't want to confirm.

One of the best song writers of all time. There's only a few left. 

I did several of his songs in the first band I was in when I was 13.

RIP

Much respect for Tom T.

Country music is not my favorite genre (especially in its current "grunge with a Southern accent" state), but I love some Tom T. Hall songs. Masterpieces of first person slice-of-life lyrics writing.

There are surely some oddities; the same guy who wrote "It Sure Does Get Cold In De Moines" and "That's How I Got To Memphis" also wrote "I Like Beer." I've always wondered if he wrote that last one to make some sort of point about lyrics writing.
