Country is not my genre. I do not care at all about Hank Williams, Jr. But Hank Williams Sr. I got goosebumps just typing his name. Absolutely brilliant. Stunning. Most importantly, authentic. You will love the father.
Yes there is a Hank Williams Sr. He was a real country Legend. Hank Jr and him have different styles, different generations. I love this song. Great reaction ❤
@@jaybrock812 Minnie pearl fainted the first time she saw 3rd thought she was looking at a ghost. and his son is recordoing now as well goes just by IV
As others have said Hank Williams Sr is called the father of modern country music.Hank Jr also has a son Hank 3 and a daughter Holly who are recording artists
A very true song. I haven't met much I couldn't deal with. I make my own whiskey, grow vegetables and hunt or fish for most of the meat my family eats. If the world went straight to hell tomorrow, we'd be fine.
Celia Salinas Thank you. It’s a very good feeling to know that you can feed yourself and the people around you should the need arise. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Check out his dad Hank Williams Sr. He passed away at age 29. " Hey Good Lookin " " I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" " Lovesick Blues " " Jambalaya " Many More!
Hank Williams Sr was the first Super Star of Country Music back in the 40’s and 50’s He was the most influential artist of country music ever. He died young, 29.
You two are such an adorable couple! I love that you will listen to music from ALL cultures and find connections. ❤️💕 And trust me, if you came to the country, we folk would feed you (not catfish, if you don’t like that-the freezer is full!) and let you breathe the clean, fresh air and pet the critters, and NO ONE would mess with our friends-whatever their color, or creed or background or whathef@@k ever! If you’re family, we got you covered. 🥰
There is song that was his Father's song called a Tear in my beer. They spliced it so it seems they are singing together even though his dad died when he was about 3 years old. You should it out. A tear in my beer by Hank Williams Jr.
East Texas here, and we very much identify with this song...I feel sorry for those in the cities if everything goes to pot...we can get by without the grocery store, we can protect ourselves and we have the skills to build or fix anything we need!
If you haven’t made it honor the basis that passed away Dusty Hill from ZZ Top do (sharp dressed man )or legs or La Grange) to start with longest running trio in rock history👍
Hank Willams Sr. is The Godfather of country music. And really had a unique brand of music influenced by a black blues player as a child. Much in the same way Elvis Presley was influenced by blues and gospel. Hank was amazing with lyrics to have only a 3rd grade education. Like the lord really blessed him with incredible talent. And sadly like many of the greats died way to young. He’s to country like Elvis was to rock n roll as Michael Jackson was to pop. Hank Jr is extremely talented can play multiple instruments, sing, and write songs. It’s amazing he’s still alive after falling 500 and some odd feet down Ajax Mt in Montana in the 70’s. He was photographing Rocky Mountain billy goats with a couple guys and at a ledge that gave way . The reason for the beard and glasses. Broke almost every bone in his body and split his face in half. When his friends finally got down to him they said he was only moving his hand, kinda waving. Hank has said in interviews his daddy was there with him as a spirit telling him to hood on. Not to give up and as his daddy walked back into the clouds (heaven) he was waving goodbye to him. Gave me chills when he said that.
I'm gonna tell you now, you haven't had the best experience of country music until you are in a room with someone with a guitar and a song. When I was young down here in Mississippi whenever we went to someone's house sooner or later the guitar would come out and we'd have fun. I've got a neighbor living across the road, and I ain't gonna lie, when he sang he was just as good as Hank here, deep voice and belting it out making that guitar sing. When you get a chance find some country folks and gather for some singing, we really are in every state, north, south, east and west. You'll be surprised how good a time you'll have.
Ahhh Bocephus in da house 😘. "Can't starve us out...can't make us run"....best damn line right there 🤔. Story about the friend is true as is us and our survival skills. Check out "Family Tradition". Half....he used to the the little diddly for Monday night football (are you ready for some football). Love the music and his father was awesome too. "Walking The Floor Over You" and "I'm So Lonesome". Good vibes and good times equal good feelings 💗🕊️
My top favorite of Hank Jr.s- IT and “Bluesman.” Love him period! He has a movie called “Living Proof” the Hank Williams Jr. Story.” Highly recommended watch- shows the struggle between him and his late Dads music- and many more fascinating things lmLike his very near fatal fall from a mountain- And I gotta say, I love hearing our girl Jais laugh again!! The BEST! 💖💙👍✌️
His dad was the great Hank Williams, country singer. Two generations of great performers. Family Tradition and Dinosaur both are great Hank Williams Jr songs
Most music is story telling of personal stories or stories they’ve heard. You can go spend time at ranches all across the country I’d love to see that video !
Some history that wasnt mentioned...His Daddy was Hank Williams Sr and died at 29 when Hank Jr was 3 yrs old. He died of self medicating on pain meds in the back of a Cadillac on New Years day. His real name was Hiram and changed it to Hank to sound more country. Hank Jr started singing his daddies songs at 8 yrs old and got booed off strange at 15 cause he tried singing his own songs. Good reaction to a great country song.
This is the full story of my life! LOL I live deep in the woods with the woman and the kids and the dogs and me! I damn sure got some pewpews! LOL How can ANYONE NOT like this song! Country Boy or not! It makes City Boys wish they was Country Boys! LOL Great reaction y’all!
I live in a 40 acre farm, anytime you wanna come milk the cow, collect the eggs, feed the goats and hogs, you’re more than welcome! I’ll sleep in!! LMAO
Half & Jai, y'all gotta find someone from the South who makes Scuppernong white wine homemade. I am not a drinker, but I tell ya, I would get messed up from that wine bc it honestly doesn't taste like wine. Its absolutely delicious. By the way, a lot of my family are absolute good ole country folk. And if the world had to go back to the old times, I don't think a lot of people could do it.
I live in Tennessee and I don't ever want to live anywhere else. I see pictures of cities with nothing but tall buildings all around and I honestly don't know how people can stand that. I'd smother to death in places like that. I've always lived where you could look out the window and see houses and trees and all the beauty of nature. I've been to Mississippi Alabama Georgia and Florida to visit in my life and that's the only places. I love the South and the wide open spaces and I LOVE country music. You might like All my rowdy friends are coming over tonight by Hank Jr. The video itself is fun to watch. I've been to a few parties like in the video in my time and DAMN were they fun !!! We cooked a pig in the ground and had beer on ice....the whole country FUN PARTY...😁😁😁 FUN MEMORIES....💖💖💖
Oh man --- fried catfish - hushpuppies - french fries - cole slaw - sweet tea --- I'm in high cotton. Country music is 3 chords and the truth -- a story.
Hank Jr. has been my favorite country singer since 1965. He is the son of the legendary Hank Williams. You have to see his live concert Born To Boogie.
As a city girl gone country, I can say staying up til 6 am is one thing and getting up at 6 are not the same, but when I have my garden in the Summer, I LOVE getting out in it early. The birds are out, but the people aren't. The best experience ever is morning in the garden. But late at night in the new snow is pretty great too. We country girls can survive as well.
The reason country songs seem to tell a story is because when country music was country music, they were songs about life. Country music is a melding of the Blues and Appalachian Hill music. You should see the movie "Song Catcher". And if you want to understand us and our Hillbilly mentality watch the Patrick Swayze movie "Next of Kin"!!!
I am a little late to this chat but I just found you two while browsing and love your energy. I just wanted to comment on this to let you know there is no greater feeling than blue skies and endless fields of the southern U.S. Regardless of how the politicians make us out to be, you will find the nicest people down here, regardless of race, religion or partner preference. Always feel free to come on down. I am glad I found you two.
Hank Williams is the greatest American songwriter. (2nd is holland-dozier-holland). Johhny Cash wrote a song about going to see a Hank Williams concert. Leanord Cohen put Hank 100 floors above him in the tower of song. His son is where it all started to go wrong. You have probably heard "move it on over" "I saw the light" and "your cheatin heart". "Rambling man" and "you'll never get out of this world alive" are worth checking out.
Hank Sr. died at age 29 in 1953 from drug and alcohol abuse when Hank Jr. was only three. Hank Sr. created what we now call country music. Both Sr. and Jr. are in the country music Hall of Fame.
Hank senior was one of the greats of his time he died at the age of 29 years old Hank Jr otherwise known as bocephus was forced to dress like his father and play his father's music when he was very young I also believe and I think he is related and he is very good Hank Williams III
FYI. He is touring this year! I went to Oklahoma last year to see him!! He is now in his 70’s and doesn’t sound the same but still awesome to see him! My personal fave son is All in Alabama!!
Half, you so crazy🤣🤣 I was dying laughing about the catfish. I'm from a small southern town that's right on the Chattahoochee, grew up fishing and catfish is my favorite..like someone mentioned before, no menstrual period for them 🤣 but I do know some people won't eat them because they consider them bottom feeders. They are so good though! My daddy would always pinch the tail off for me to eat lol..yall want to see a small southern town, come on down to Eufaula, AL, we'd love to have you. Much love and great reaction as always!!✌❤
Hank Sr. Is probably the most famous country singer ever. Hank Jr. Is pretty good too. By the way in Alan Jacksons video Midnight in Montgomery he stops his bus at Hank Sr's grave Hank Sr only lived to be 29 years old. He likely died from pain mes in the back of his Cadillac on the way to a New Years Eve concert in 1953. Hank Sr. called his son Becephus.
Check out the video, gotta do the real video, for "There's a tear in my beer". His dad recorded it in the 50's, but it was never released. His dad would later pass away while Hank Jr., aka "Bocephus" like it says on his guitar's pick guard, was around 2 1/2 . Anyway, the audio for the song was released in the late 80's. Hank Jr. recorded a cover of it, but the video to it is the magic! It was during the dawn of computers being involved with video editing, so they pulled out all the stops for the video and did something that still hold up pretty damn well today. They filmed Jr. singing the song, then combined it with old black and white video of his dad singing a completely different song! They then used the computers to morph his dads mouth into singing the correct words for "There's a tear in my beer". I don't want to give too much of it away, but everyone should check it out just on the video's merits alone. The song is the icing on the cake. You get and adult son singing, and performing with, his adult father, that he never really got to know in life. It's something else I tell ya! My Grandpa was a huge Hank Sr. fan. My uncle is named Hank after him. The video made him cry, which was hard to watch, but it should tell you the power of it. Hank Sr. is still celebrated in the town right next to mine, Knoxville, TN. It was the second to last place Sr. was known to be alive. Coming from Nashville in Hank's Cadillac, Hank and his driver would next stop at the Andrew Johnson Hotel in Knoxville, where a doctor was summoned for Sr.. He was in pretty rough shape because of alcohol and the chloral hydrate he had taken earlier. The doctor game him a couple of B12 shots to try and give him some energy back. The shots also contained a 1/4 grain of morphine each. That's not much at all, but to an already suppressed respiratory system, it may have been the little extra needed to kill him. I've never heard if the doctor new about the chloral hydrate or not. Either way, Hank Sr. was carried to the car and then he and the driver set off again headed to a new years celebration show in Canton, Ohio. After driving for a while, at around midnight, the two stopped for food just over the state line in Bristol, Virginia. The driver asked Hank if he wanted anything and he said he didn't. Those are believed to have been his last words. (side note - yes it's Virginia, not Tennessee. For those that don't know, the city of Bristol pretty much has a line right through it's downtown section. It's the state line, where you can stand with one leg in Virginia and the other in Tennessee. So, you end up with a Bristol, Virginia and a Bristol, Tennessee.) Remember the "midnight", "Cadillac" and "new years show" parts for in a minute. Back to the story... The next stop was for fuel in Oak Hill, West Virginia. Once there, the driver found Williams deceased. He had been dead long enough that rigor mortis had set in. After his death, more of his music was released. Some would be among his biggest hits. As a kid, my favorite was "Kaw Liga". Great story and song, one listen and you will see how a kid would like it. His funeral was huge, and was the largest on record in Montgomery as well as one of the largest ever in the state of Alabama. Later on many tribute songs were recorded. The reason you needed to remember those words from above are for these two. Alan Jackson's - "Midnight in Montgomery", which has always struck me as very eerie. The best, in my opinion, is David Alan Coe's - "The ride". Both songs are ghost stories basically. *** Because I know how TH-cam can lead you down rabbit holes, I want you all to be warned, if you search for David Alan Coe, only listen to this song and "You Never Even Called Me by My Name". DO NOT listen to much else and definitely do not listen to anything that comes up under D.A.C.. It's basically gangster country, I don't know what else to call it. Some songs are funny, some are sexist, some are pretty damn gross, and almost all are racist. You have been warned, seriously folks! ***
We would love to have you as a part of who we are. Just like you we are our own We are proud who we are. And we don’t take no shit off nobody. We love and respect all. Up until it’s time not too. Good vibes indeed. Thank you.
Yes he has a famous father Hank Williams Sr. He did died in 1953 January 1st back in 1983 Hank jr. And his dad did a duet and it's called there's a tear in my beer you should check it out and on August 8th 1975 Hank jr. Almost passed away he fell off Ajax Mountain in Montana him and some friends were climbing the the mountain any fell off of it 575 feet.
I grew up in the city, but I grew up on the river. I grew up gardening, splitting wood, hunting and fishing. A country boy truly can survive. I can fix a car, change out a faucet, remodel a house, make dinner(all the time,) manage a baseball team...but I can also do computer forensics and fix computers. I have a hunger for knowledge. I am a country boy at heart though. "I can skin a buck and run a trot line"...been there done that. Y'all should do "daddy won't sell the farm" by Montgomery Gentry if you haven't already.
Country music is all about story telling, especially the older generation of country singers. I love all kinds of music and enjoy your reactions. Glad to see some country reactions!
Listen to Hank Jr's "Blues Man." There's also a Hank III. His best song, in my opinion, is "Three Shades of Black." And now there's also a Hank IV, son of III, who has a brand new debut album with a song called "Son of Sin." I recommend the acoustic version of that song. Also Hank Williams was known as the Hillbilly Shakespeare, and was one of the greatest country singers ever.
Here in the Tennessee mountains your neighbor can weld,the guy up the hollar can reload ammo and the old lady and her granddaughters can what's out of the garden.Its the way of the south.We help one another.I got enough garden seeds to grow a garden to feed 100 people
This is how I was raised in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in South Carolina. Raised beef, sheep and pigs as well as hunting dogs to train and sell. My grandfather would not allow the making of whiskey but he had grapes galore for jellies and wine. My grandmother made the best pickles in the world out of watermelon rines. We bought flour, cornmeal and sugar from the store and that was it. All kinds of fruit trees and raised honeybees and smoked all meat not eaten immediately in my Papa's smokehouse. Got my first shotgun, a single shot 4-10 for my 6th birthday and we would hunt every day after school for rabbit and squirrel with no adults around. Can you city folk imagine sending your kid at 6 to go out hunting alone. DSS would come and take your kid.
Check out Hank Williams III. He does awesome country and metal. He is INTENSE live. No talking between songs, just plays. Go out to the country, find a small town and go antiquing. Country folk are very kind. Like the music, they are all about hard work, honor and family.
WAY BACK IN THE DAY, TOOK MY DAUGHTER TOO SEE HANK WILLIAMS JR, AND CHARLIE DANIELS. I AM A METAL HEAD/ MOTOWN HEAD. BUT THIS IS GOOD DOWN HOME MUSIC. AT THE TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS INTO THE BAND ICP... A MUST REACTION..

Awe, I miss that version too!
More than just the 90s too.
Im in my 70s my grandfather and my Dad made their own moonshine and had gardens and meat from the woods and clear sprIng water and FREEDOM
A very true song. I haven't met much I couldn't deal with. I make my own whiskey, grow vegetables and hunt or fish for most of the meat my family eats. If the world went straight to hell tomorrow, we'd be fine.
I wish I could say the same thing. It would be so cool to taste really fresh food. I think you are cool.

I love this song I’m so happy to see you discovering new songs
Hank Sr is the king of country and Hank 3 had followed in the footsteps of his granddaddy and daddy
Hank Williams sr is one of country music’s greatest
Hank Williams Jr's song family Tradition is a great one to listen to as well. All his songs are really great.
If you haven’t made it honor the basis that passed away Dusty Hill from ZZ Top do (sharp dressed man )or legs or La Grange) to start with longest running trio in rock history👍
Or "Tush," since Dusty wrote and sang lead on it. Plus his bass vibe on Tush was raunchy af. RIP Dusty Hill 💔

A great country song y’all could react to is MIDNIGHT IN MONTGOMERY by Alan Jackson. It is kinda spooky and ominous, and it mentions Hank Williams SR

You two are just such a beautiful, lovely couple. I could see you living in the country and loving it too.
Lol- catfish info 😂😂 Jr is also called - Bocephus- bo-cee- fus (written on his guitar) it’s a nickname his father gave him as a child.

I just wanted to comment on this to let you know there is no greater feeling than blue skies and endless fields of the southern U.S. Regardless of how the politicians make us out to be, you will find the nicest people down here, regardless of race, religion or partner preference. Always feel free to come on down. I am glad I found you two.
Hank Williams is the greatest American songwriter. (2nd is holland-dozier-holland). Johhny Cash wrote a song about going to see a Hank Williams concert. Leanord Cohen put Hank 100 floors above him in the tower of song. His son is where it all started to go wrong. You have probably heard "move it on over" "I saw the light" and "your cheatin heart". "Rambling man" and "you'll never get out of this world alive" are worth checking out.
Hank Sr. died at age 29 in 1953 from drug and alcohol abuse when Hank Jr. was only three. Hank Sr. created what we now call country music. Both Sr. and Jr. are in the country music Hall of Fame.
Alabama girl I meet Hank Jr several times he is so humble and kind. Love to see your new post
I have eight and a half acres in the country and it is absolutely wonderful. I love yall's reactions!!
Country folk can survive. I'm a country girl, I can fish, skin a buck, got shot guns and shine. Good reaction.
Hank senior was one of the greats of his time he died at the age of 29 years old Hank Jr otherwise known as bocephus was forced to dress like his father and play his father's music when he was very young I also believe and I think he is related and he is very good Hank Williams III
FYI. He is touring this year! I went to Oklahoma last year to see him!! He is now in his 70’s and doesn’t sound the same but still awesome to see him! My personal fave son is All in Alabama!!
Omg I’m so happy seeing y’all react to this. I was raised listening to this
Half, you so crazy🤣🤣 I was dying laughing about the catfish. I'm from a small southern town that's right on the Chattahoochee, grew up fishing and catfish is my favorite..like someone mentioned before, no menstrual period for them 🤣 but I do know some people won't eat them because they consider them bottom feeders. They are so good though! My daddy would always pinch the tail off for me to eat lol..yall want to see a small southern town, come on down to Eufaula, AL, we'd love to have you. Much love and great reaction as always!!✌❤
I literally felt how much you felt this song. Great song
Hank Sr. Is probably the most famous country singer ever. Hank Jr. Is pretty good too.
By the way in Alan Jacksons video Midnight in Montgomery he stops his bus at Hank Sr's grave
Hank Sr only lived to be 29 years old. He likely died from pain mes in the back of his Cadillac on the way to a New Years Eve concert in 1953. Hank Sr. called his son Becephus.
Check out the video, gotta do the real video, for "There's a tear in my beer". His dad recorded it in the 50's, but it was never released. His dad would later pass away while Hank Jr., aka "Bocephus" like it says on his guitar's pick guard, was around 2 1/2 . Anyway, the audio for the song was released in the late 80's. Hank Jr. recorded a cover of it, but the video to it is the magic! It was during the dawn of computers being involved with video editing, so they pulled out all the stops for the video and did something that still hold up pretty damn well today. They filmed Jr. singing the song, then combined it with old black and white video of his dad singing a completely different song! They then used the computers to morph his dads mouth into singing the correct words for "There's a tear in my beer". I don't want to give too much of it away, but everyone should check it out just on the video's merits alone. The song is the icing on the cake. You get and adult son singing, and performing with, his adult father, that he never really got to know in life. It's something else I tell ya!
My Grandpa was a huge Hank Sr. fan. My uncle is named Hank after him. The video made him cry, which was hard to watch, but it should tell you the power of it. Hank Sr. is still celebrated in the town right next to mine, Knoxville, TN. It was the second to last place Sr. was known to be alive. Coming from Nashville in Hank's Cadillac, Hank and his driver would next stop at the Andrew Johnson Hotel in Knoxville, where a doctor was summoned for Sr.. He was in pretty rough shape because of alcohol and the chloral hydrate he had taken earlier. The doctor game him a couple of B12 shots to try and give him some energy back. The shots also contained a 1/4 grain of morphine each. That's not much at all, but to an already suppressed respiratory system, it may have been the little extra needed to kill him. I've never heard if the doctor new about the chloral hydrate or not. Either way, Hank Sr. was carried to the car and then he and the driver set off again headed to a new years celebration show in Canton, Ohio. After driving for a while, at around midnight, the two stopped for food just over the state line in Bristol, Virginia. The driver asked Hank if he wanted anything and he said he didn't. Those are believed to have been his last words. (side note - yes it's Virginia, not Tennessee. For those that don't know, the city of Bristol pretty much has a line right through it's downtown section. It's the state line, where you can stand with one leg in Virginia and the other in Tennessee. So, you end up with a Bristol, Virginia and a Bristol, Tennessee.) Remember the "midnight", "Cadillac" and "new years show" parts for in a minute. Back to the story...
The next stop was for fuel in Oak Hill, West Virginia. Once there, the driver found Williams deceased. He had been dead long enough that rigor mortis had set in. After his death, more of his music was released. Some would be among his biggest hits. As a kid, my favorite was "Kaw Liga". Great story and song, one listen and you will see how a kid would like it. His funeral was huge, and was the largest on record in Montgomery as well as one of the largest ever in the state of Alabama. Later on many tribute songs were recorded. The reason you needed to remember those words from above are for these two. Alan Jackson's - "Midnight in Montgomery", which has always struck me as very eerie. The best, in my opinion, is David Alan Coe's - "The ride". Both songs are ghost stories basically. *** Because I know how TH-cam can lead you down rabbit holes, I want you all to be warned, if you search for David Alan Coe, only listen to this song and "You Never Even Called Me by My Name". DO NOT listen to much else and definitely do not listen to anything that comes up under D.A.C.. It's basically gangster country, I don't know what else to call it. Some songs are funny, some are sexist, some are pretty damn gross, and almost all are racist. You have been warned, seriously folks! ***
We would love to have you as a part of who we are. Just like you we are our own
We are proud who we are. And we don’t take no shit off nobody. We love and respect all. Up until it’s time not too. Good vibes indeed. Thank you.
Hank Williams Senior and hank Williams Junior are both country legends
I grew up on Hank. This is THE country song. Thank you for reacting to it
A great story told by Hank Williams Jr is I got rights, family tradition, whiskey bent and hell bound and so many more!
Yes he has a famous father Hank Williams Sr. He did died in 1953 January 1st back in 1983 Hank jr. And his dad did a duet and it's called there's a tear in my beer you should check it out and on August 8th 1975 Hank jr. Almost passed away he fell off Ajax Mountain in Montana him and some friends were climbing the the mountain any fell off of it 575 feet.
your LAUGHTER is contagious!! PEACE.
Your channel is a great find and you brought me joy on this night. Thank you.
Hank Williams Jr Family Tradition. I love that song!
I grew up in the city, but I grew up on the river. I grew up gardening, splitting wood, hunting and fishing. A country boy truly can survive. I can fix a car, change out a faucet, remodel a house, make dinner(all the time,) manage a baseball team...but I can also do computer forensics and fix computers. I have a hunger for knowledge. I am a country boy at heart though. "I can skin a buck and run a trot line"...been there done that. Y'all should do "daddy won't sell the farm" by Montgomery Gentry if you haven't already.
yes there was a Hank Williams SR. who was an amazing performer but he passed in 1953
1:08 About that. Hank Sr. was a country singer, but he tragically died at the young age of 29 in 1953 from heart failure caused by drug/alcohol abuse.
and country girls survive also - with or without them country boys!!! we want some country MEN!!!
There would not be a Hank Williams junior without Hank Williams senior
Country music is all about story telling, especially the older generation of country singers. I love all kinds of music and enjoy your reactions. Glad to see some country reactions!
Listen to Hank Jr's "Blues Man." There's also a Hank III. His best song, in my opinion, is "Three Shades of Black." And now there's also a Hank IV, son of III, who has a brand new debut album with a song called "Son of Sin." I recommend the acoustic version of that song. Also Hank Williams was known as the Hillbilly Shakespeare, and was one of the greatest country singers ever.
yes his dad was Hank Williams Sr. known as the father of country music, died new years day 1953 at the age of 29 when Jr. was only 3
Yes, his father sang. Hank Sr passed away when Jr was about 3 years old.
You guys are awesome! That's all posting this before watching the vid.!.!.
Yes his dad Hank SR. Is a legend and Hank III is a awesome artist too
You both glow and you're smiles are beautiful. God bless.
Here in the Tennessee mountains your neighbor can weld,the guy up the hollar can reload ammo and the old lady and her granddaughters can what's out of the garden.Its the way of the south.We help one another.I got enough garden seeds to grow a garden to feed 100 people
This is how I was raised in the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains in South Carolina. Raised beef, sheep and pigs as well as hunting dogs to train and sell. My grandfather would not allow the making of whiskey but he had grapes galore for jellies and wine. My grandmother made the best pickles in the world out of watermelon rines. We bought flour, cornmeal and sugar from the store and that was it. All kinds of fruit trees and raised honeybees and smoked all meat not eaten immediately in my Papa's smokehouse. Got my first shotgun, a single shot 4-10 for my 6th birthday and we would hunt every day after school for rabbit and squirrel with no adults around. Can you city folk imagine sending your kid at 6 to go out hunting alone. DSS would come and take your kid.
Your laughter is why I keep watching, no disrespect.
I love the hat bro
Also you guys are goofy cute it's fun to watch all together
Ty for playing Hank Williams Jr you guys are totally awesome 👍💯
Check out Hank Williams III. He does awesome country and metal. He is INTENSE live. No talking between songs, just plays. Go out to the country, find a small town and go antiquing. Country folk are very kind. Like the music, they are all about hard work, honor and family.
WAY BACK IN THE DAY, TOOK MY DAUGHTER TOO SEE HANK WILLIAMS JR, AND CHARLIE DANIELS. I AM A METAL HEAD/ MOTOWN HEAD. BUT THIS IS GOOD DOWN HOME MUSIC. AT THE TIME, MY DAUGHTER WAS INTO THE BAND ICP... A MUST REACTION..
