    His first albums he put out was under the name of Luke the Drifter. Died sitting in his car of a heart attack was a nice clean way to put it.. a heart attack brought on by Alcohol poisoning.
    I have been a fan of Hanks my whole life. My daddy used to sing me to sleep with Hank songs.

    Another interesting story about Hank Williams Sr is the story about his daughter that he never got to meet who he did acknowledge as his child. She was born a few days after his death. Her name is Jett Williams. She has produced a box set of Hanks music some never before heard of.

  • @duglife2230
    @duglife2230 Před rokem

    Hank's telling of Kawliga is about a wooden cigar store Indian who has feelings for another wooden Indian across the street, a female, who is for sale at an antique store. Kawliga never expresses his feelings for her, and one day a "wealthy customer" buys her from the store and takes her far away, never to be seen again. It's basically a cautionary tale about how you should tell somebody you are interested in how you feel; because you never know when they will exit your life forever and take any chance of a relationship, if it existed at all, with them. It's something a lot of people have experienced at least once in their lives, myself included, and that is what made Hank's music so special. His songs were an anthology of the human experience, in a way. It is difficult to find a hardship, heartache, emotion, etc. that does not have a Hank Williams song to go with it, and the most raw part about that is the man likely felt every single word he put to song.
    Montgomery, Alabama is definitely on my bucket list now!

And my husband has a copy of Hank's actual death certificate. I can't wait for him to see this video. I shared it to his fb, lol.

    I live 2 hours north but visit here often, the museum is like extended family. Looks like you had a great time! "Tee Tot" the black man that taught Hank a lot of his musical knowledge is buried in an unmarked grave on the other side of Montgomery. When I visited years ago, I left Hank's grave at midnight and headed up High Street for the other cemetery. An elder black man was by the road at a stop sign so I rolled down my window and inquired about the cemetery, his response stuck with me "Oh yeah, it's straight ahead back behind the new walmart... but really, any street in this neighborhood will get ya to the cemetery this time of night little white boss" He then shook my hand and wished me luck lol. Got to the cemetery and did find a sign mentioning that Rufus "Tee Tot" Payne is buried in an unmarked grave, the rest of the cemetery was just eerie with probably 75% of the graves busted open with skulls and coffins etc totally exposed.

    Dr. Ivan Malinin performed the autopsy at the Tyree Funeral House. Malinin found hemorrhages in the heart and neck and pronounced the cause of death as "insufficiency of the right ventricle of the heart".[80] That evening, when the announcer at Canton announced Williams' death to the gathered crowd, they started laughing, thinking that it was just another excuse. After Hawkshaw Hawkins and other performers started singing "I Saw the Light" as a tribute to Williams, the crowd, now realizing that he was indeed dead, sang along.[70] Malinin also wrote that Williams had been severely beaten and kicked in the groin recently. Also, local magistrate Virgil F. Lyons ordered an inquest into Williams' death concerning the welt that was visible on his head.[81]
