I was raised in the high desert with Hank Williams’ voice coming out of the kitchen radio. I was not fond of country music yet you begin to keep it as a fond memory.
There is a party of deja vu going on in my ears right now. Your curating of Williams’ songs is excellent, truly.
In that first Hank video, you can't see his right foot, but he's swiveling his foot on the right toe of his boots, something that James Brown did and Mick Jagger copied. They would do both feet, and move on to pigeon-toeing across the floor. Hank had to stand still for the close shots of the camera, but I bet he would have done the same if he could move around.
I’m considering this a gift, thank you. And because it’s kind of perfect I’m introducing it - and you - to my rock n roll granddaughter - also as a gift.
The Hank & Anita clip is great. I believe she was trying to look downcast because of the lyrics, but her thrill at being on TV singing with Hank won out. Looks like Hank had some powerful charisma.
Born in VJ Day, 1945, my earliest memories are sitting in the porch swing in KS with my older brother (12 yrs) learning Hank Williams songs. He was one of a kind! Thanks for all the insider notes.❤️
