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.

Lyrics
"MOVING DAY" Written By Tom Tripp 04-14-08 It's moving day, at the old family homestead. You see my momma passed this old house on to me after she went on up to Heaven , a few years ago. This old house is well over 100 years old and is surround by about 20 old growth trees, that was home to some of the prettiest song birds in this part of Kansas and has seen many life's come into and depart from this old earth. This old house is like an old friend, in the way it was always there when I needed it the most. The old back porch swing herd plenty of old lady's gossip over the years and it has rocked many of babies off to dreamland. That porch swing was always the place I could turn to when ever I had to do some deep thinking about my life and all. With the old chains, that held it up, squeaking and the sounds of crickets chirping out in the yard, on a warm summer night, I could do my best thinking.. ya I did..there was some happy thoughts, some sad but always, because of the old porch swing, mostly peaceful thoughts. All good things must come in an end, you see the years and weather has took its toll upon the old house, and all the paint, drywall and nails was never enough, because dry rot and rust was quickly bringing to an end to the old friend. Now the lumber that hold's up the walls and created the old roof that had sheltered my family from so many storms, over the years, now returns back to the earth, that once gave it life, so many years ago. It is hard to let go, but it has gotten harder to hold onto, that old friend, the old family home. I already picked out the next place I will be hanging my hat, it is a bit smaller and newer, then this old house and now that the years and the weather is slowly taking its toll upon me, myself also, I know I got to be down sizeing my life some and make it more simple, with less grass to cut and less mountains of snow to shovel from the drive-way come winter time. I'll be able to concentrate on those fish that are jumping in the near by lake that is just a stone skip away from my new home. So if you are ever in this part of Kansas, were the flint hills meets the prairie and you see an old worn out cowboy, in his wore out blue jeans, fishing pole in hand and faded cowboy hat, well that just might be me , if so, just give me a wave and a howdy-do and if your not to busy, grab a fishing pole, pull up a log, and let me tell you some old stories about life, lost loves and stories about letting go of an old friend. One day I will be moving on to my final home.. a home that knows no age and all my family and friends will be there to help me move in..come MOVING DAY.
