Subject: TOM TRIPP honors "The Old Syrup Sopper" with "The Prettiest Dress"

His nickname was "The Old Syrup Sopper". He was born on 17 July, 1918 to an impoverished family in Charleston, West Virginia. His stagemate on the "Louisana Hayride" show was Hank Williams -- who steered him toward a contract with MGM Records in 1949. He was also known as "the trucker ballad specialist" whose highly sentimental "impact" recitations could touch even the toughest redneck hearts. Tragically, he suffered a heart attack while driving his van on April 4, 1980. Tom Tripp honors The Old Syrup Sopper's 88th birthday with a rendition of "The Prettiest Dress" which in my opinion, would have driven Hank Williams to steer Tom Tripp toward a major label record contract. Just words? No. There are some things that time can never change. Life has inevitable moments that every heart must face. For "The Old
Syrup Sopper" it was the prettiest dress. It's at www.countrylovin.us. Dare to love ...to love like that.
