RADIO SHOW AT FM 98.5 THE PULSE OF THE VALLEYS SHEPPARTON VICTORIA, AUSTRALIA and other radio station around the world for giving my songs/stories air play .................................................................... 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
My Elusive Dreams, Written by Curly Putman & Billy Sherrill You followed me to Texas, you followed me to Utah, We didn't find it there so we moved on. Then you went with me to A-la-bam', Things looked good in Birmingham, We didn't find it there so we moved on. I know you're tired of fol-low-ing My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things, My elusive dreams. You had my child in Memphis then I heard of work in Nashville, But we didn't find it there so we moved on. To a small farm in Nebraska, to a gold mine in Alaska, We didn't find it there so we moved on. I know you're tired of fol-low-ing My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things, My elusive dreams. Now we've left A-las-ka because there was no gold mine, But this time only two of us moved on. And now all we have is each other and a little memory To cling to and still you won't let me go on alone. I know you're tired of following My elusive dreams and schemes For they're only fleeting things, My elusive dreams. (Added Verse by Tom Tripp) One night when we was crossing Kansas , you came down with the fever, you went on up to heaven on your own. Now you are with our little baby and God is holding you both in his arms , keeping you both from home.
