"The jailer had a wife and let me tell you she was awful but she brought that hot boloney every day. After 7days she got to lookin so much better-I asked her if she'd like to run away..."

Nothing wrong with a good fried boloney sandwich

Or Baloney gravy. I've eaten my share through the years.

Faster horses younger women older whiskey and more money, I've used that line many times.

On more than one occasion, I have heard an attractive woman being referred to as a 'Thoroughbred'..
(intended as a compliment, but nowadays would probably get ya pilloried and blocked.)

I remember Little Boxes when it was popular on the radio....that would be AM radio at the time, as FM hadn't really come into it's own as mainstream yet.

I wonder how many people even listen to the radio now days with the different Pandora, Spotify, ect. The ones the fancy vehicles have for x amount commercial free. People have become spoiled. I remember wiggling the antenna on the radio trying to get a station and waiting all day for a favorite song to play. Now day you just type in the song and wam bam it's at your fingertips.

He was truly a story teller. I Love, Sneaky Snake, Watermelon Wine, Faster Horses, ... who has time to name them all?

I have to admit that my favorite Tom T. Hall song was not a Tom T. Hall song, but a Manfred Mann song: "Fox on the Run." In my opinion, Mr. Hall took a bad English rock song and elevated it to a really good country bluegrass song.

I do. Sirius XM channel 31, Tom Petty and the Heartbreakers 90% of the time The other 10% is divided between Willie's Roadhouse and the Frank Sinatra channel.
