Cowtown rodeo results
The Cowtown rodeo stock
was in prime condition
Saturday night and of the
first 25 animals out of the
shutes only 2 horses were
ridden and 1 calf roped. The
animals maintained the lead
and at the end of the per*
formance only 44 out of a
possible 98 of them had been
ridden, roped, or thrown.
The “Green Bulls" who
entered the Rodeo Arena as
a series of numbers last
week had by now acquired
such appropriate names at
Cut Throat, Tuffy, Mistake,
and Pain; none of which
were ridden, but what’s in a
name? Rene Cosavante of
Boston, Mass, could not hold
a candle to a Brahma named
Sunbeam, who was just as
vicious as any of the others.
Wyatt Crotta of Bethany,
Conn, was one of the lucky
cowboys and made a winning
mark of 64 on a “Green Bull"
Shisb-Ka*Bob, for $299.88.
Andy Harris won $213.64 in
the Steer Wrestling event in
9.6 seconds.
In the Bare Back Bronc
Riding, Jack Meli was back
in first place with a 60
marking for $135.24.
Saddle Bronc event was
won by Roger Young with a
mark of 58 for $135.24.
The winning time in the
Calf Roping was 12.9
seconds, made by Carl
Marino for $292.24.

Graham,
The following is a sketch of
Tom T. Hall who will be
featured at Shindig on Aug. 2
with the Carroll Co. Ram
blers and the Caffrcy
•Family.
In country music, a genre
whose lyrics always have
told stories, he has come to
be called The Story Teller.
Described as “musical
journalism" and “subjective
reportage set to music,” his
most representative songs
stand out as masterfully
understated portraits of a
seldom - heard - from
America. It is an America
his audiences recognize as
home.
Tom T. Hall is a specialist
at describing people, and he
describes himself as “an old
boy who picks a guitar and
sings through his nose.” He
carries a five-piece band and
performs to 15 or 20
audiences a month at county
fairs, outdoor parks, country
music nightclubs and college
campuses. Generally he
feels that the quieter the
crowd is, the better he can
entertain it.

mountain town of Olive Hill,

Tom T. Hall, noted country western
musical performer, will be featured at

was Ernest Hemingway, a
story teller who fled from
middle America in his youth
and spent the rest of his life
reacting to it, writing spare,
stoic words which kindled
feelings by ignoring them.
The other was a tubercular
Olive Hill guitar player
named Clayton Delaney who
was the first innovative
musician Hall ever saw.
At least one song written
by Tom T. Hall has been on
country music’s national
popularity charts every
week for more than eight
years now. He has written
hundreds of them, many on
assignment, and he has
prided himself on an ability
to write them about
whatever subject happens to
be needed at the time.
