Welcome to my "Sound Click" web pages. I am a Storyteller and a psalmist , a talker of music. and a writter. Please visit my Home Page at www.countrylovin.us or go to my link page here on SC and click on the link there. All my web pages are family safe,so please feel free to email my links to your family and friends. Here is a little about myself: TOM TRIPP's love for country music can be traced back to his growing up on a small Kansas dirt farm. Tom was the youngest of seven children. His father was a storyteller (as his father was, and his father before him). Tom's father and mother both worked hard to keep their family fed. At the end of a long day, his father would sit next to the old coal-burning stove and tell stories about growing up in the coalfields of southeast Kansas, and of his many adventures in life. Tom learned the art of storytelling at an early age in life, and it can be heard in the stories and songs he writes today. Tom has traveled across every state in the USA but two... Alaska and Hawaii. When asked why he hasn't visited those states yet, Tom just smiles and says: "I always leave the best for last, and my life is far from over." Tom has looked down upon this old earth from the top of the Rocky Mountains. He has watched the sun rise and set over two oceans. He has traveled through the hot desert and walked upon the frozen ponds of the northland, but he has always returned to Kansas... the place where he hangs his hat. Tom Tripp is the proud parent of 4 grown children , Jason , Chris , Nicole and Gina and a Grandfather of 4.

"Workin' Man Blues" Written by: Merle Haggard Well it's a big job just gettin' by with nine kids and a wife I've been a workin' man damn near all my life And I keep workin' Just as long as my two hands are fit to use I drink my beer in a tavern Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues I keep my nose on the grind stone Work hard everyday I get a little drunk on the weekend After I draw my pay Gotta go back workin' Come Monday mornin' I'm right back with my crew I'll drink a little beer that evening Sing a little bit of these workin' man blues Sometimes I think about leavin' Do a little bummin' around Gonna throw the bills out the window Catch a train to another town Gotta go back workin' Gotta buy my kids a brand new pair of shoes I'll drink a little beer in the tavern Try a little bit of these workin' man blues I say hey, hey working man A workin' man like me I ain't never been on welfare That's one place I won't be Gotta keep on workin' Just as long as my two hands are fit to use I'll drink my beer in the taverns Cry a little bit of these workin' man blues
