Hank Jr. said in his interview, and I paraphrase: My daddy was taught to play guitar by a black man, Rufus Payne. If it wasn't for him, I wouldn't even be standing here.
I heard Hank's rebuttal yesterday on the radio while on the interstate and was almost moved to tears. It was a very strong statement.
In Memphis TN, it all comes down to race, and I am sure this will covered by Andrew Clark Sr. here at

live from noon to 3pm central time, barring of course a Vol basketball game.
Andrew Clark Sr. is a black conservative independent, who drives the race baiters in that city crazy!
