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.

Story behind the song
Ed Gowens wriites: This song has a very special meaning to me. I wrote it on the night of Sept 26, 2005. This was the night before I was to have Open heart surgery at 6am the next morning. I did not sleep at all that night. I am proud to share it with others. Maybe, it will help just one person and ease their troubled mind if they should find themself in a situation as I was in while the old clock ticked away that night before my Open heart surgery. I just could not sleep.. Then about dawn, (an hour or so before they came to take me to the operating room), I simply said, "Lord, my life and soul are in your hands" I don't remember anything after that, until I woke up in the recovery room, and all I could think of to say then was "Thank you Lord" A special thanks goes out to "The Story Teller" Tom Tripp for doing such a wonderful job. I am proud to call Tom My friend, Thank you for listening, Ed Gowens
