@@cheryllong3674 sorry, never heard of these people. Jimmy C newman had one blood brother, my dad. Walter Newman and they never mentioned west virginia or ohio family, never. They were both born in Reddel La. just out of Mamou. I sang on the opry in 1969 because Uncle Jimmy when I lived with him, set it up and his son lives in Lafayette Louisiana. Elva mae Dare was his wife from Ville Platte louisiana. so what are you saying?

[@michelsaarloos4392]

I met Jimmy in the 80ties when playing in Holland. He took us to his dressing room when we, 4 country loving guys, asking him for a autograph. This is and was a true man. A really beautiful man. God bless him.

It’s sad to say, but you are right. All of our older Cajun musicians are passing away. But we have some great ones filling their shoes.

[@tomtransport]

Have it on 45 RPM stereo in my 1961 Seaburg Artist Of The Week juke box. Of course it's by Hank himself. Never heard of Jimmy but he and the band are very good. Hank would probably want to add another fiddle but would approve of this rendition.

[@nbk9372]

Those Fiddlers (can't remember their band name) play with Vince Gill at a local club in Nashville, Tnn. The one to the left of Jimmy (the thinner one w/the straw hat) lost his wife Dawn to cancer, and damn she had a voice that can outshine some of the female country singers of that time. Damn, trying to remember their band name, and their individual names are, it's at the tip of my tongue, but just can't spit it out. Maybe someone will remember these violinists, they are a trio who jam with Vince Gill at their local club 2 to 4 nights a week with invited special guests. Edit: "Time Jumpers", by golly I remembered the band name!

When I was growing up , hat's were removed when inside,guess it's different there.

[@tomtransport]

Hats are permissible inside public buildings or if part of a uniform, costume or signature part of one's character or act on a stage, restaurant, etc. Now if I entered your private home and I failed to remove my cap, hat, hood or other head gear, that would be rude and disrespectful.

Frankly, (or should it be, Hankly), Hank did just fine without any help on this song.

[@IdaDuplechin]

Hank Williams wrote this song about a club in Beaumont Texas named YVONNE'S owned by a lady named Yvonne(Cajun) A local D. J., Gordon Baxter, sat with him during the intermission. Yvonne is long buried; the club was bought and remodeled into another Entertainment Venue. However, many musicians started at Yvonne's. JAMBALAYA is a lasting tribute.
