My best album is called In Search Of A Song. That was my best shot right there. My finest hour, as they say. I could listen to the whole thing all the way through. There's nothing really crammed into it.
From Tom T. Hall
I took up a sort of a hobby of just hanging around the local library. I'd pick out an author and I would read all their books.
Whiskey's to tough, Champagne costs too much, Vodka puts my mouth in gear. I hope this refrain, Will help me explain, As a matter of fact, I like beer.

If Barbara Walters was interviewing me, I'd figure her career was as dead as mine!
