    Hank is a REALLY NICE man. I got his autograph TWICE here in NJ...
    in '73, when he was famous but not a SUPERSTAR yet...and...
    later, around 1980, after he had become 'the man' in country music!
    He was VERY NICE to me BOTH times!
    REALLY like him! SUPER guy!
    I am black.

      That's so cool! You met him twice! I think it's pretty awesome that you're a fan of Hank Jr too. I don't know many black folks who even like country music, let alone Hank Jr. I think having an open mind is a beautiful thing.

    That's how it's done in the South people. We don't sit on our hands and whine about the government helping us and depend on government help. We jump in and help our neighbors out. Special thanks to Bocephus for jumping right in on this and calling in all those favors. God bless you bud.

    the girl reporter was right about the house in Vinemont. You turn off 31 and go behind the skating rink and he lived off a gravel county road. His gate with musical notes is still there. He lived here at the time he was visiting his place in Montana when he wrote Country Boy Can Survive. He was writing about his place in Vinemont he bought after he sold his A Frame on Lake Catoma.

    A true Good 'Ol Boy! See a good 'ol boy never forgets where he hailed from! He lifts folks up when he can. "Home" is a bittersweet word. And its a prideful thing for him to ask for help, but ya'll are neighbors. So he figures he can reach out! Please don't forget us! Come help!

    Right here in this footage, if Hank Jr would've been standing 30 feet away from the camera, he looked almost identical to my dad. My dad was several years older than Hank. The body build, shape of his face, those sunglasses, hair color, beard & all........exactly the same. Hank's nose is a tad broader & shorter than dad's was. That's why I say "at 30 feet away"........lol. Of course they would look more different without the shades, and due to old injuries/scars, Hank always wears those shades in public.

      @@tncountryboy06 Thanks for the feedback. So, correct me if I'm mistaken, jumbalaya is a Louisiana thing, right? Not Alabama? Different food culture down there. I passed through parts of it years ago in pursuit of bluegrass music. Love good BBQ, but chitlins are a little over my head 🙂
