Hai make no mistake was touched by my God, when you look into his young eye , you could see the glow, the same glow that Merle had as a young man, I am sure that he knew that his life was ending, and how he would miss his family, he was not like the rest of us, no not from his birth until the end, when you are touch that way it is just the way that it is, please remember Hals handsome bright face, full of life and remember how his music made you feel in your heart, and look for the next gift from my God, and remember that it may only be for a short while. This is true the world over. it took me 70 years to learn it, no one told me. Thank You BB
I remember riding with my mama to my grandmas house listening to Hal, Bobby Darin, Mavericks, and so many greats..😭😭😭 My favorite will always be "Someplace Far Away".
I had the chance to see this wonderful man play in Winthrop Washington. He was a phenomenal singer...song writer.. and musical intertainer. He will always be playing in my truck. rest in peace my friend it won't be the same small town Saturday night without ya.
He will live in our hearts forever i love his music 🎼 n his voice. 💞 To his family n friends. In Loving Memory. God saw you getting tired n cure was not to be. So He put his arms around you n whispered “Come to Me” With tearful eyes we watched you n saw you pass away. Although we love you dearly we could not make you stay. A golden heart stopped beating, hard working hands at rest. God broke our hearts to prove to us He only takes the Best. 🙏 Mr. Ketchum RIP 💐
I have been introduced this year by my mate at our weekly,such a shock to here he has passed what a terrible loss,so sorry this happened RIP, and its a privilage to play this great music as a drummer of over 40yrs for the last 6 working with Western Swing band. His music will live in my heart.
My wife and I saw him live at Little Nashville (Indiana) around 1994. Met him outside and got his autograph. A very gracious man. One of the purest voices of all time. Loved all his version of Wings of a Dove. Rest In Peace Hal. Thank you. ✝️❤️✝️❤️
Oh Hal, We met in Austin at the start of Hal's rise to fame. It was an absolute joy to run into him on the road again years later. I was production manager and lighting director for Sammy Kershaw back then and when Hal walked up to the stage we knew each other immediately. We shared time on his bus telling old stories of our past and Hal quizzed me on Indian lore and medicine. I made him tomahawks and beaded possible bags and we traded these amongst ourselves over the years. Hal had a troubled soul and he often spoke of the three crows who followed him. He viewed them as an omen and a curse.one evening after a hard show we were talking and I told him to draw the crows out on a deerskin and surrender them to me to bear their wrath. I went home and made the skin into a beautiful large possibles bag and made it with the crows turned upside down to signal their checked agression and bind them to the bag and away from Hal. The bag still hangs in my office...a tribute to my good friend. Rest now wander no more. I love you brother of the road,you are freed to the wind that blows your spirit to our ears forever.
Hal was a beautiful soul, singer, writer and very easy on the eyes. I've listened to & sang along with him in my house & car for years. I miss him already. Thank you for sharing your memory of him. My condolences to you too,
Jd White - What a beautiful tribute to an honored friend. Thank you for sharing your story. Hal died one day after my husband's father, who also succumbed to dementia. May they both rest in peace. 💔
Thank you so much for touching my heart today with your deep and beautiful memories . Hal had that “knowing “ that came across [ to me] in his voice . I have to believe he knew right to his last breath. He will be with you always , you were true friends.❤️
I heard small town Saturday tonight today;12-11-20 and it brought me back to growing up in small towns, Clark range Tn., sand springs,Ok., margaree Nova Scotia,Canada, 2 of which my parents were born in and 9 other states , I’m 47 , live outside Boston , ma. Hal ?, god bless and be proud , awesome artist.. D.H.Jones
RIP Hal, I have spent so many amazing days and nights listening to you sing, totally loved your voice and am listening for the past 30 years. May you sing with the angels, loved your music so so much, rest easy, condolences to all your family
A gentleman and down to earth guy - met Hal at one of his Gruene Hall Reunion shows - such a welcome from an artist of his stature. So sad to hear of his passing.
I always requested his songs at the Country Dance Bars. My girlfriend and I Loved to dance to them. Great Man, Great Voice! I'm sure God is Two-stepping to his music. RIP my Friend...
I can't count the number of times I listened to Hal Ketchum's music in my kitchen all alone while mopping the floor or doing the dishes. He lifted me up and out of the hard times in this life. I have played Past the Point of Rescue more times than I've played any other artist and I listen to all kinds of music. Country isn't even my thing. He made me dance and made me cry, but most of all he elevated my existence. His voice was unique and the ache in it, the tenderness, the freedom, the gorgeous texture of it sank into my heart and is part of me. When you're that good, you can't ever really die.
So sorry to hear Hal Ketchum had passed. His music sure hit the hearts of his fans & as a fan I can say we all loved him & his music. It kept us so Happy. RIP Hal, you are with God now, bless your heart. Say hi to my Mother up there. God bless us all.
RIP was a true country singer and had a beautiful voice..his songs told stories and had depth..thanks for the memories..and you will never be forgotten. ❤
Hal Ketchum was one of my first country music concerts in the 90s. He gave a great performance. My favorite songs are small town Saturday night and hearts are gonna roll. May God's peace and love be with the family.
Rest in Peace Mr. Ketchum. You're voice & music has always brought new peace & still does. If it were possible to wear out a CD yours would be the one for me. My prayers to your family. God Bless.
I'm in tears. Met him alot times. Never had a bad bone in his body..love you buddy miss you already.....man I cant beleive....My love and prayers to all....wow...
I'm sure gonna miss Hal more then words can say! My very first Hal's song was "Small Town Saturday Night" and I continue to sing it to this very day! Hal was to me very special and can never be forgotten! I sung again today Small Town Saturday Night in Hal's memory! My thoughts and prayers are to his family and friends and fans such as myself! Rest easy Hal. 🙇✝💙
Past The Point Of Rescue is one of my favorite country albums of all time.. Hal Ketchum a true musician who played out his life to the end . Taken from us way too soon, as many are, he left behind a huge footprint on the history of country music. Thanks for the memories of all the good times. Love and peace to his family and friends til you meet again.
I was so sad to hear of Hal Ketchum's passing. I am an 80-year-old widow who lost her husband 9 years ago. Hal was one of my favorite singers. May he rest in peace. May God comfort his family.
She Found the Place has always been one of my favorites. It’s poetry set to music. RIP Hal Ketchum and thanks for the great music and the memories they bring back.
I fell in love w/Hal Catsum in the ‘90’s the first time I heard him sing. I was saddened by his passing. Thank you Hal, your music will stay forever, R.I.P. ❤️❤️❤️
So sorry for your loss. Hal was a hell 0f a Country singer. One of my favorites. There is not a song of his that I do not love. May he Rest In Peace. Thank you Hal for your music, I miss you..
Hal will always be in our hearts. "Softer than a Whisper" is our song"... It is our song as a couple and something we will hear and always dance and smile to... May Hal rest easy and now remember his family and his fans- brain issues are the worst (we had a child with brain cancer- so we get it)... But Hal's music and his life touched so many - he is always remembered and loved!
🥀He surely will be missed but never forgotten⚘Sympathy is sent to his family and friends. Another great country artist we have lost this year, 😔 But the choir in heaven must be phenomenal.R.I.P. ❤
For the family, I got into his music a little late only starting in the in the late 90s. I remember taking my guitar all the way to Switzerland just to try and learn "The Hits". When I think of Hal I think of that very good time in my life. Wishing y'all the best. He has left the world a better place..
Past The Point of Rescue is such a beautifully crafted song. I knew the first time I heard it that he was a special songwriter. And Hang In There Superman brings a tear every damn time. RIP.
He did not write past the point of rescue it was written by the Irish singer songwriter Mick Hanley born in Limerick city Ireland look him up you will not be disappointed rip Hal
