Tom T. Hall had a long and significant career as a Country singer and songwriter. Of his 54 hits on the C&W charts from 1967 to 1986, he wrote 46 of them. He had 20 in the Top 10 and 7 that hit #1. He also made 5 appearances on the Pop Hot 100. I did see him in concert once but never met him. His songs were fun to play as a radio DJ, most stirred up a conversation topic.
