Welcome to my "Sound Click" web pages. I am a Storyteller and a psalmist , a talker of music. and a writter.

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.

"Father's Table Grace" Written by Jones, Otho/Sewell, HomerL. While we sit at our table ''my family heads bowed low My thoughts return to childhood to the finest guy I know He doesn't speak good English .. he's just a simple man But when he talks to the Lord even a little child can understand I was awful young and reckless //the thought still comes to me When I told dad I felt that I was old enough to leave He sat there at the table ;; I looked him on his face He never spoke another word till he said the table grace He said our graceous heavenly father we all gathered here today To give these things of blessings so humbly we pray My oldest son is leaving and I guess he knows what's best But just in case would you stand by and help him stand the test And Lord he's awful neglectful about church on Sunday morn And if he gets with a wrong crowd would you let him hold your arm And if he flies too high would you clip his wings But don't let him fall too hard I'm sure that you can hand the things Oh I've tried my best from day to day to teach him right from wrong He's grown to be a fine young man Lord but you've always blessed our home I just pray for understanding that he won't build upon the sand But I won't worry half as much Lord if I know he's in your hands (then my father looked at me from the coner of his eye and said.....) And oh yeah Lord it won't be long till I'll be coming home We'll have some long talks you and I don't make me wait too long We beg dear Lord for guidance please cleance us from our sins So we all can meet in heaven in Jesus name amen The table was silent as tears went down my face From that day on I base my life on father's table grace
