Folks pay attention because you may never see a better short bio of Tom T Hall. I’m amazed at the amount of accurate and relevant information Mr Skinner was able to include in such a brief time without seeming rushed. Tom T Hall was above all else an original. As is Jerry Skinner.
Tom T. Hall, a legend in the Country Music Industry. Forever in our hearts 💕 God bless Tom T. and his entire family. Thank you Mr. Jerry Skinner. For all you do to inform us. Your information is educational, interesting, historical. Keep up the great work.
so sad to hear that , another irreplaceable person gone. Tom I hope you have found peace, you filled the world with something very special and you will be missed.
Mr. Skinner.... Again another melodious video by Jerry Skinner. It is apparent that you like country western music. Again I say that your sweet Southern voice is the best melody that I have heard. Thank you for all the years of great videos.
Rest In Peace Mr. Tom T Hall, old dogs and children and water melon wine was one of my favorites. Thank you Jerry for recognizing this great artist. You brought a tear to my eye with this one. Loved the man. Thanks again Jerry, please keep em coming . Augie and Jill Blase, winter Springs, Florida🤠
@@JerrySkinner1943 I know he had a brother named Hillman, who was quite a good songwriter and singer. There are some Hillman songs here on YT. My favorite song of Tom's is Once Upon a Road. He also had emphysema, I remember as a kid both my grandpas had that. Truly horrible and I can see that along with missing Miss Dixie, left him in pain so deep that it took a bullet to relieve the pain. I got to have a conversation with him back in the early 70s about the songs he recorded with Patti Page and how those songs came about. Thank you for this wonderful tribute.
@@JerrySkinner1943 Please see my comments above. I cannot verify how Hellman died. Per Hall's autobiography, pp. 173-174 his father died in a hospital of MI.
Wow Jerry where the heck was I when that news was released? I had no idea Tom took his life. I remember my parents playing his songs and loving them and let me tell you he sure was a great great Musician and Country Singer. R.I.P. my friend you were one of a kind. God Bless.🙏🏼❤❤❤❤
It was back in the sixties, my wife had left me with our two baby's and i was staying in my van down by the Broad Run River in Manassas Virginia. The road also led to the small airport. It was late night and i was just drinking a beer before trying to get some sleep . A car stopped right behind me and a man got out and walked up to my driver side window. I was thinking i might be about to get robbed so i reached between the seat and grabbed a tire iron just in case. Then the man said hello, and told me he and his friend was parked in their camper at the airport and they were waiting for Tom T. Hall to get there as he was flying in . They were members of his band, and they asked me if i wanted to come with them and drink a beer while we waited and i would meet Tom T. Hall. I did go with them and we drank some beer, but i had to work next morning and Tom T was late. I wish i had stayed and met him, and kick myself every time i think about that. He was one of my idols and grew up in the area i was from. Daddy was a coal miner back then. Anyhow, that is my story. Thank you for this great video.
This is a wonderful overview of Tom's life and career. So well done with taste and accuracy. Thank you. It was fun to see the pic of that long ole limo included. When Tom bought that black Limo from Johnny Cash, it was considered the longest limo in the country at the time. Tom gave me the chauffeur's cap that the driver wore, and it's among my treasured items.
Thanks Jerry, for this very professionally presented documentary about this very talented gentleman, a very interesting story but unfortunately with a sad ending. Take care my friend and all the best. Stevie
Thank goodness, I’ve had such a shit day. Then boom a ray of sunshine appeared in my notifications- Jerry Skinner dropped another video. This will lighten my mood, thx Jerry as always your videos are welcomed and very well received. I love this channel his voice is the best for narration.
Thank you for posting. I have a lot more Tom T Hall to discover. I bought a Best Of on CD,around 20 years ago. I first heard of Tom T Hall through Jerry Lee Lewis and his versions of ‘The Ballad Of Forty Dollars’ & ‘Homecoming’.
Thanks so much for this!!! Sneaky Snake 🐍 became my nickname from the time I was a little kid ,,he will always have a special place in my heart!!! Another amazing vid brother!!!! Have a Fantastic weekend!!!
The fellow over Tom T’s left shoulder at about the four minute mark playing bass was also his band leader and tour manager, Jason Hutcheson. He is now, or was last time I heard, an Arkansas State Trooper.
Hi Jerry been watching your videos for nearly 10 years can you made a video about Frederic March or Sam Peckinpah in the future keep the good work Jerry.
What is 25 May?The dates are 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and in this case,25th of May so what is it with your 25 May,1May et all? There are no such dates in the English languge,not even in American and I am not watching any more of these with your date nonsense.
He was an amazing songwriter and singer. Grew up listening to him.
I didn't know Tom T took his own life. What a tragedy for a man who gave us all so much joy.

Thank you CAROLVS. Jerry
I've also never seen such accuracy of life history and photos as well. Thanks Jerry...you too are one of a kind. God Bless.🙏🏼❤
You got all of that right. Jerry is a legend too and thankfully, a living one. His respectful nature and attention to detail is unmatched.
Hear, hear!
I'm shocked knowing he took his life. My dad got me into his music when I was a kid. He's the same age as Tom T Haul
Rest in peace 🙏

Thank you Robert. Jerry
I’m from bath country Ky and I’m pretty sure all the best come from eastern ky
One of my most favorite artists. I will miss him greatly.
Tom T. Hall was amazing.
He wrote so many great story songs. Truly blessed to have lived in a time with voices like Toms, Ed Bruce, Waylon, Neil Diamond, Rosanne Cash
All noble choices.... But just remember, the best died young.... #HankPatsyAndKeith
Thank you Mr. Jerry. Tom T. was one of my favorites. I still love to listen to his stories.
It's so sad that he took his own life. I think he was very lonely. May he rest in peace. Thanks for the wonderful songs Tom 🎶🎶❤️
He was also in a lot of pain, just like John Cash after June passed away.
Thank you for this much appreciated documentary about one of the most loved country music artists.
Thank you Gerard. Jerry
I loved all of Tom T's songs. Thanks Jerry 👍🙂
Sad ending , definitely a story teller in song. Appreciate the pictures and your research it's top notch . Thank you for sharing.
so sad to hear that , another irreplaceable person gone. Tom I hope you have found peace, you filled the world with something very special and you will be missed.
Thanks Jerry. I remember him well .R.I.P Tom T. Hall.🙏

Jill, i just spoke with Charles Sizemore and he told me that T's daddy and brother died the same way he did. I did not know that. Jerry

Glad I'm not the only person thinking that. I honestly thought he was still with us. Super 😥

I loved his songs and music. This is, at the same time, inspiring and sad. Rest in peace, Tom T. and Miss Daisy ♥️♥️

Old dogs ,children and watermelon wine ☺Song has rolled through my head occasionally for the last 50 years !
Wonderful short bio, Jerry! You're script writing, along with everything else, is fabulous!

LOVED his voice. I am not sure why I didn’t know he took his own life. I now wish I didn’t know at all 😢

Always enjoyed Tom T Hall songs. He had some good ones.
He was a very good country and western singer,, he had a lot of very good songs that had meanings to them,they are the best!

Great video as usual.

I never knew tom was dead, till just seen this, but surprise about taking his own life, on my birthday last year, what a legend was Tom.
And born on my birthday (May 25th) different year of course
l always like all of his songs but SNEAKY SNAKE was the one l liked the best......Thanks again Jerry !
Good to see your name again Steve. Jerry
love TTH and his music.
His songs are legends. Had no idea he took his own life. I guess we’ll never hear that song.
Thank you for posting. I have a lot more Tom T Hall to discover. I bought a Best Of on CD,around 20 years ago. I first heard of Tom T Hall through Jerry Lee Lewis and his versions of ‘The Ballad Of Forty Dollars’ & ‘Homecoming’.
great story, Tom T was one of the best.

Loved Toms songs
Some people just plain get tired of livin'.
RIP T.T. Hall.
another great documentary many things i did not know about his life, thank you so much, i enjoy these so much
Brilliant. We ❤ your videos.
Thank you Denis. Jerry
Get me back to the 40s 50s 60s and wonderful 70s.I just realized I have been around a long time.I liked all the old singers.
Tom T. Hall was one of my very favorite and many thanks for sharing.
Tom’s wife Hootie owned an establishment in Grayson Ky. - Not Morehead Ky. I lived 1 Mile from there and frequented it often.
Tom T. Hall is from Olive Hill, Ky. about 20 minutes east of Morehead, Ky. He had a day celebrated for him in Olive Hill.
Very well done biography. 👏
Love faster horses, always makes me smile.
Great video man your videos bring joy to my day
I miss Tom T. 👍
The fellow over Tom T’s left shoulder at about the four minute mark playing bass was also his band leader and tour manager, Jason Hutcheson. He is now, or was last time I heard, an Arkansas State Trooper.
Well done as usual. Thank you Mr. Skinner.
Thank you Roy Boy. Jerry
💜😥🙏
Thanks 😊
Hi Jerry been watching your videos for nearly 10 years can you made a video about Frederic March or Sam Peckinpah in the future keep the good work Jerry.
Thank you Tom T. Hall.....and thank you Jerry for keeping him close. PS: Jerry please help us keep Eddy Rabbit close too.
Thank you Larry, I love a rainy night also. Jerry
Yes -I read about that Tragedy recently as I watched him on an old HeeHaw show. Maybe it was the med? Sad
Yes!! That was my first reaction. He was NOT properly medicated. Most older patients with chronic illnesses are not.
My favorite song by Tom is - " Me and Jimmie Rodgers " . . .
Yes sir
"Who's Gonna Feed Them Hogs"
"Once upon a road" and "little brown suitcase"
It's a trip to hear roads I know
Outstanding short. I d like to buy you a coffee sometime s. Not far from you. Keep up the good work.
That sounds good where are you my friend. Jerry
Very informative, Jerry you are the real story teller here.
Tom T and Charlie Watts died on the same day last year. Watts was the Stones drummer.
He grieved himself to death
Totally agree. He ended his life while he still had his faculties, rather than wait and die in misery.
Worked for his wife helping care for her kennel full of basset hounds.
Great song, writer.. but everyone deals with ups and downs in life.
How about doing Ken Curtis.
and watermelon wine....
What is 25 May?The dates are 1st,2nd,3rd,4th and in this case,25th of May so what is it with your 25 May,1May et all? There are no such dates in the English languge,not even in American and I am not watching any more of these with your date nonsense.
