What I was trying to ask was if anyone has the words to the song Joe,Don't Let the Music Kill You. Was recorded by Tom T. Hall and first three lines are: or something like that. I've tried Tom T's site and the data base. It's one of his more obscure pieces but has a sentiment that musicians might find of interest. |

And its working on my son and daughter. One is 15 and the other 21 and music is something they share in common. But it ain't my music. I am learning from them though. |
