Rip Cannaday The Story Behind the Song

Thanks to Brian Allison and the folks at the LaSalle Museum Association for posting the pictures of the Town of Tullos in last week’s Times. This week, Rip Cannaday shares a song he wrote about this town, along with some of his childhood memories. (TCT) Rip: Some time ago I wrote a song about “My Old Home Town”. It tells about Tullos as I remember it in the late 1930s. My parents, moved to Tullos in 1936, the year before I was born. The oil boom was coming to an end. There were a lot of wells that still had the wooden derricks. If they drilled a new well, the derricks were made of wood. After that, World War II started and all the steel went to fight the war and save America.
