Thomas Crutcher: A True Worshiper

Growing up, I heard my dad, Thomas Crutcher, aka Tacky Man sing a song titled, “One of These Old Mornings,” by the New Christianaires. I can hear him sing these words, “One of these old mornings, it won’t be very long, you’re going to look for me and I’ll be gone. Going up to heaven to sing and shout, and there won’t be nobody there that can put me out.” Well, on September 20, 2008, just five days after my twenty-eighth birthday, my father went home to be with the Lord. What an honor it is for me to write about him, as we publish my 100th blog post!
