Tom T. Hall !![\quote]
~ Wow, is Tom T. Hall still alive…???
I remember listening to Sneaky Snake about a bazillion times each day when I was a little girl… I bet I still have that vinyl album laying around here somewhere… Thanks for the flashback!!
I got to see Tom T. Hall in concert when I was 4 years old! As far as I know, he is alive. He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in June.
Here’s another article from January of last year:

I know it is a stretch, but I thought I’d put his name out there.
I’ve totally been singin Tom T Hall’s children’s stuff all afternoon now, haha… I forgot about how much I really loved all those songs as a child… THANKS AGAIN for the suggestion! :lol
~Can you imagine him singing ‘I wish I had a million friends’ to the TBF crowd…?? I bet we could make him FEEL like there was a million of us out there!
:concert
I care, I do… There’s NOONE like you!
:peace
One of my favorite Tom T. Hall karaoke songs I sing… “I like Beer”! :cheers
I’m thinkin that one wasn’t on my childrens album Tom, haha… :lol
~ But I like the sound of it!!
:cheers
Thanks, Tom… By reading the lyrics, I can tell it’s a funny song!! Too bad that when I try to ‘Listen now’, it plays the song “I Love” instead!!
:cheers
