Before we move on, a tribute to Tom T. Hall, who passed on August 20th, age 85. Tom was nicknamed "The Storyteller", and he could weave a tale! I heard Tom's songs on the AM radio in the 70's and he was definitely one of my favorites, as a matter of fact, one of the first singles I ever bought was Harper Valley PTA in 1968! 😁

The 45 version edits both the organ and guitar solos! And not even these time constraints could push this into the Top 40 😢

THE most underrated band of the 70's and early 80's! They got massive FM airplay but were basically ignored on AM Top 40. Too bad, it's our little secret. 😉
