Always loved Small Town Saturday Night

Man...forgot about him. Small Town Saturday Night was a great song. This song was on that same album...  Don't know who was finding his songs but they nailed it.  

Past The Point of Rescue.  

This is probably my favorite of the ones he wrote.

This is a jam.

Dead from dementia at 67, fuck... RIP.

[ztejas 43554]

Fuck. One of my favorites.

Country has had a rough 2020.

[Hate 20149]

Damn, 67 is way too young. Dementia sucks. At least he isn’t suffering anymore. RIP.

We used to go see him out in Gruene before anybody knew who he was.  RIP Hal Michael Ketchum.

This was probably my favorite Hal Ketchum song.

Gonna listen to small town Saturday night 40x tonight


Prime country classic right there. RIP Hal

This hurts. Loved his voice, loved his lyrics. Damn it.

If you can find this album, get it.   Patrick Alger doing all the songs he wrote that others had hits with.  Not only it is full of great songs, the backing musicians on the recording could fill up a REAL awards show.  Lyle Lovett, Kathy Mattea, Mary Black, Kenny Malone, Trisha Yearwood, Jelly Roll Johnson, Pat McInerney.  The album is a true classic.

He was part of the Americana Jam one year, and I'm glad to say I heard Small Town Saturday Night live at Gruene Hall.

 

[Patrick Bateman 3933]

RIP.  Always liked his songs especially on road trips.  Too damn young.

I saw him a county fair in Southeast Kansas right as Small Town Saturday night was blowing up.  He was probably too famous to be there, but we had a hell of a time.  I would have been 14 or 15.

RIP.
