Jan 1st 1953 but who would know that.

Everyone - 3 days after Hank passed , Randal's mother ( hank jr isn't really a jr - his dad's first name was Hiram but I digress ) Randal Hank's mother paid Hank Sr's widow ( Sr divorced jr:s mother) $30,000 to have the legal rights to the title " Hank Williams' Widow " - Sounds crazy but - it turned out to be a brilliant business move - one of the most savvy in the history of the music business ..... ( This is public record - it was made public when the daughter of Hank Sr was forced to take the estate to court in order to be recognized and paid her due inheritance ( Fascinating story in itself)

400ft 500ft 700ft Bottom line ole Hank definitely took one hell of a fall and lived to tell the story.

[@kevincole8385]

The most laid back humble interview I have ever watched with Hank. Not the usual Macho bluster. Way more resl

The greatest entertainer on the planet and the real deal his songs are all bout how peoples live around the world especially when he sings about the outdoors and animals and all his rowdy friends from around the world 🌍 great story and great music 🎵🎶🎼🎶🎶

[@davidrice3337]

As long as he's in a good place - I've seen him at least a half dozen times - twice he was great - once in Bardstown Ky almost 40 yrs ago - He was great 3 times - 3 times he wasn't - once in particular he opened up for the fake Lynyrd Skynyrd - it was awful - But hey nobody is perfect +

[@ronaldgavlick732]

Saw the movie and the part where he falls, down the mountain is all wrong Richard Thomas is terrible bad bad movie but nice of Hank to talk good about it

[@davidrice3337]

I agree - the movie was terrible - whoever cast john dude was an idiot -

[@none-yabizniz187]

Wonder if Jr ever mentioned what sr had actually said to the guy in Hollywood.

[@christopherstoll1864]

AMERICA.

[@shawnbruce6934]

This is Awesome! I Love both of these Guys. Country's Greatest and Mike was a Great TV Host.

[@MrHankfan77]

Do you trade footage? I got Hank JR & Waylon live audio and footage. Thanks

[@waylonvids]

I will for sure. I know I have at least one live Waylon video from 1990 that nobody else has. I have posted one song from it on my page you have likely seen

[@waylonvids]

I have most of the rest of the afternoon show before security made the filming stop. Then it picks back up from the same seat for the evening show. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bXrNg2t8eJl2g6c

[@waylonvids]

I have one HANK JR video that I taped off TV but I can't find it. It was a CBS tv special he co-hosted circa 1992 Maverick period. He plays Elvis' gold piano that is now in the Hall of Fame and sings Elvis' hit: ONE NIGHT

[@multitoolish]

Great video! Thanks for sharing

[@triple6758]
