I presented my Tom T. Hall tribute show on 10 October 2021 following his passing on 20 August. As a child, Tom’s amazing song-writing and storytelling was something all my family loved; I found much joy and inspiration in the words and music.

The show was vastly different to Out of the Pan – nothing queer; all the same, still some sense of justice e.g. The Monkey Who Became President and Tom’s cover of John Prine’s Paradise (environment).

Song selection was hard because I love every Tom T. Hall song; as well as his more thoughtful songs, I hope the range I played conveyed love, including for his sense of humour and respect for country and bluegrass.

I wish listeners much enjoyment.
