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.

Story behind the song
[edit] Song history Originally recorded in 1945 by Acuff, the song was later recorded by Hank Williams, Sr. in 1951 for the Mother's Best Flour Hour. These rare recordings, including Blue Eyes Crying in the Rain, can be found on a boxed set collection published by Time Life Music[3]. The song was later recorded by Willie Nelson as part of his concept album, Red Headed Stranger, about a fugitive preacher on the run from the law after killing his wife. Nelson's rendition, wrote country music historian Bill Malone, was "a fine example of clean, uncluttered country music, (with) a spare arrangement that could have come straight out of the 1940s."[1] Rolling Stone noted the song was delivered with his "jazz-style phrasing" and was "the beating heart of Red Headed Stranger."[2] [edit] Elvis Presley Presley finally recorded the song (having sung it privately with friends and family for years while accompanying himself on piano) in the Jungle Room at Graceland (his last studio recording session) on 7 February 1976. This was the last known song that Elvis Presley sang (at piano in the music room at Graceland) before his death on August 16th 1977
Lyrics
Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain Written by Fred Rose, 1945 In the twilight glow I see her Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. As we kissed good-bye and parted, I knew we'd never meet again. Love is like a dying ember. Where only memories remain. Through the ages I'll remember- Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. Now my hair has turned to silver. All my life I've loved in vain. I can see her star in heaven. Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain. Someday when we meet up yonder, We'll stroll hand in hand again. In a land that knows no parting- Blue Eyes Crying In The Rain.
