"The Last Ride" was very enjoyable movie, one that answered several questions and filled in many blanks.

Much better than the first Hank movie I saw at the theater when I was a kid:

My favorite Luke the Drifter song: ‘Everything’s Okay’

Thanks for posting this story about Hank.

Here's a good old Hank song.

   I Heard That Lonesome Whistle Blow

[Michael.SF.]

Here is on that many may folks do not realize he wrote:

I Saw the Light

[Heart-Rest]

Here's another lesser known Hank song I like too:

   The Old Home

[Lexington Green]

Ol’ Hank wrote some songs better than others - but he never wrote a bad one.

I can still recall vividly seeing a car come around a corner and the driver leaning out the window and saying “Hey Good Looking, What You Got Cooking” to a girl on the sidewalk.

I was around 4 or 5 and it would have been either 1951 or 52. It was in Panama City, Fl.

[Jim Noble]

Why Don’t You Love Me Like You Used To Do?
Your Cheatin’ Heart
Lovesick Blues
I’m So Lonesome I Could Cry
Cold, Cold Heart

And, for all my brothers out there who have run into the Family Court buzz saw, My Son Calls Another Man Daddy. Not in the top five or even the top ten, but anyone who sobs when they hear that one is my brother.

Just out of the service I went to the University of Tennessee. I was looking for an apartment to rent that quarter and there was one at the Andrew Johnson Hotel over on Gay Street. It was a run down one that was pretty beat up. I declined it. I found out later it was the one Hank stayed in the last day of his life.

Hank was married several times. One of his ex-wives would become the widow of Johnny Horton.

Nobody quite like Hank Sr...

[tumblindice]

If you got the money honey
I got the time
We’ll go a honky-tonkin’ .....

My brother and sisters and I liked to sing that one on the way to church.

Bookmarked.

I bet Hank in his entire career never made as much as one of these faux “Country Stars” make at one performance.
