He's one of the foundational pillars of country music. Part of my family is from his neck of the woods and this isn't just music it's culture. Far as I know crawdad and crawfish are the same, at least where I live. Thibodaux + Fontaineaux at least at that time were common cajun last names in the Louisiana bayou. Honky Tonk Blues and Ramblin' Man are my two favs of HWS.
If you didn't understand the meaning of "pirogue" (PEE-row), it's a dugout canoe used in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Lousiana, in this case. They stood in them and used a pole to push the pirogue along the bayou, or swamp, or wherever the water was shallow enough. They can also be paddled. Hank Williams, Sr., was saying "me gotta go pole pirogue down the bayou", in Lousiana. Thanks for a great reaction! God bless you!
Cajun lingo!😂good luck understanding it. French creo? Idk? But much fun anyway. Hank was rock star famous. And.. he drank a wee bit too.. fill fruit jar.. not with milk im bettin😂..
Guys, that line you were struggling with. Right after he says kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozens, he mentions 2 of the family names Thibedouxs and Fontenots. Pronounced tibados and fontenos. Oh and crawfish, crawdads and crayfish are all the same animal. Just depends on what part of the country you are from. Fiddle and violin are the same instrument. Typically violins are played in classical and orchestral pieces, and fiddle is what is played in folk, country,bluegrass and even certain ethnic folk music, Irish for example. I am going to leave you guys 2 links (hope you can use them??) first a brilliant female singer/songwriter named Nanci Griffith singing Nightriders Lament and joined by Don Edwards doing the yodeling. The 2nd is a family bluegrass and Gospel band named The Petersens doing a cover of "I wanna be a cowboys sweetheart which also includes yodeling. Hope you enjoy!! Nanci is sadly no longer with us, but was a folky, country kind of blend. The Petersens do a number of different kinds of songs but mostly all in the form of bluegrass. They do covers and original songs as well. 1) Nanci and Don - Nightriders Lament - th-cam.com/video/mS15kF-58-Q/w-d-xo.html 2) Petersens Band - Cowboys Sweetheart - th-cam.com/video/QVttaEpsBmc/w-d-xo.html
If you get technical most people will say the violin and fiddle are just different styles of play. But if you google the difference between them it says that usually the fiddle will have metal strings while a violin will have natural strings. This is why you can get different sounds from the same instrument. I do remember watching an episode of The Grand Ol’ Opry where the fiddle player was whipping along and broke a string. He said “Oops I broke my G string “ and kept going. It was years before I was old enough to understand the joke.
Crawfish/Crayfish also called, slangily, DITCH BUGS! They can survive in sloughs, lakes, ponds, small streams, swamps in the watery portions of many southern states' delta environs.
Louisianan here. Crawfish and crawdad are the same thing. We also call them mudbugs. Fontenot and Thibodeaux are very popular last names. Pirgoue is a manned boat that is carved out of wood. Filé is made from the sassafras trees and added to gumbo as a thickener. The difference between a fiddle and a violin is they are held differently. A fiddle is held lower than a tradtional violin. The Louisiana pronunciation is bye-you and jum-ba-laya.
Leonard Cohen, one of the greatest songwriters ever, wrote this about Hank Williams in one of his songs. "I asked Hank Williams how lonely does it get. Hank Williams hasn't answered yet, but I can hear him coughing all night long…a 100 floors above me in The Tower of Song." A hundred floors above me. Cohen paying tribute to one of his idols.
I was raised on this man's music and am proud to say that I learned to play and sing from a songbook my father had. My dad loved this man. I even went to his graveside his boyhood home, and the church he grew up in. I owe all my talent to Hank. I even get called little Hank because my voice is similar to his, meaning that twang and sharp sound he had.
Wanna hear yodeling give Jimmy Rodgers a listen. He was called the singing brakeman whose career was in the late 20s and early 30s. He died young also from tb
In Hanks 29 years he made music that resonates throughout the solar system. Nobody can ever be as poetic as he was and still is today so dig deep and also check out Luke the drifter .
Born and raised in Louisiana. If you guys have never been, it’s like another country. French culture everywhere. Nobody in Louisiana says crawdad. They have their own crazy laws and rules. Truly no place like it.
From Georgia. What you say about Louisiana sounds perfect. The Napoleonic Code of Law is very different. And crawfish, crayfish, crawdaddy, or mudbug are all different names for the same critter to me. Boil ‘em with some taters & Old Bay seasoning and I could eat a ton!
The song I sang to my baby girl when she wouldn't go to sleep was Hank Williams song Hey, good lookin'. Changed the words a little bit depending on the car I had.
And also, yes- a violin and a fiddle are the same instrument. That's why you see people saying 'a fiddle has strangs, a violin has strings'- it's just the style you play the instrument!
Hank Williams Sr was one of the more prolific hit song writers ever. His lyrics were incredible, not matter the subject matter of his songs. There's a good reason Hank Sr was known as "The Hillbilly Shakespeare."
Hank, Sr. was a little earlier than you estimated. He released one of his biggest hits, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", in 1949. He passed away from health problems exasperated by drugs and alcohol abuse at the ripe old page of 29. He was a giant of the music world back then A violin and a fiddle are exactly the same instrument. The difference is in the music that comes out of it
Hank III is Hank Williams, Sr. reincarnated. He looks like him, sound like him, acts like him and is wild as ish just like he was. A violin and fiddle are the same instrument. It's all in how you play it that makes the difference. Classical music employs the violin. Irish pub music, country music and cajun music employs the fiddle. Proper folks play the violin. Miscreants that like good music, whiskey and beer play the fiddle.
A fiddle is bigger than a violin---nearly the size of a viola. A fiddle has steel strings, as opposed to a violin's catgut, or other synthetic, strings. A fiddle has a flat bridge, so one can play straight across; thus, playing more than one note, at a time. A violin has a bowed bridge---one plays up, and over. Other than that, the difference is in the way a fiddle is played: Aside from the straight-across bowing, the fiddle is played in front of the shoulder, whereas a violin is played, up, on the shoulder. Love you guys!!!
A lot of the words in the song are from Louisiana where they speak a language a that is a Patois, a French mixed with other languages and it's called French Creole. I used to work with an old guy from Louisiana named Sammy Lafitte, like the French pirate Jean Lafitte. He was born in the US but English was his second language. He'd always say, dats fo true, you betta know it! He was a great guy!
My mom used to sing part of this as a Haha to us kids. We'd laugh. Hank Sr had spina bifida. He showed no outward signs he had it on his back. He drank and took meds to help with the pain.
You should listen to Hank Sr.'s 1: I'm so lonesome I could cry 2: cold cold heart 3: Hey! Good looking. 4:your cheating heart. 5: I saw the light.✌️❤️🙏🙏
want me to break it down for you? This was my fathers favorite Song by Hank Williams. The Tibbedeux and the Fontineux where Clans in Louisiana in the 20s. Think the Hatfield and Clampets
Yes, crawfish and crawdad are the same. Just a regional difference in terms. In East Texas/Louisiana, we say crawfish. But as a kid in the Ozarks, folks would say crawdad exclusively.
The "dive bar" your referring to is known as a "Honkytonk" but in contrast to a dive bar, drinks are flowing, food is a cookin, and people are having a good time, in other words a party!
Terrific rhythm and beat. That's Chet Atkins on the electric guitar with alternating bass with the E A and D strings. Yodeling? Listen to Jimmie Rogers and Slim Whitman.
Thanks to Dave not trying that cord in his throat.. I wouldn´t either.. I had some great parties.. cooking chillistew and listening to Hankl Willams.. senior..
There is no difference between the violin and fiddle except in what you play and where you are playing it. He mentioned Louisiana family names and in the Marines I knew a guy name Kibbodaux, I thought it was Kippadaux. He was a big guy nearly 7' tall, the food must be healthy. Oh, the song says Thibedaux. That's how I remembered Kippadaux, because it reminded me of the baseball player Thibedaux, who was a pretty good player. Down South everybody is related to everybody in these small towns. On you mentioning how kids reject their parent's music, my Mother smashed all my Bob Dylan records (because of the protest songs), but growing older I started to listen to her big band swing music with the original artists and found it pretty groovy. "What did your Father think of it?" "Oh, he hated it!" I was working on a family history and getting Mom to hear the music from her times started her on so many stories. Music does do amazing things to get people together. Just before I joined the Marines, I'd go over to a co-worker's house and he'd play Hank Williams Sr. I called my older sister, saying he was great. She said "Don't you remember when you were four you drove everyone nuts singing "Hey Good Lookin'" and other songs and wouldn't shut up?" Me: "I don't remember that." One of my favorite Hank Williams Jr. songs is "I Don't Think Hank Would Have Done It This Way."
The bridges, the parts that hold the strings up off the body of the violin and fiddle may be different heights. Making the sounds slightly different. It's really about the setup a player prefers.
Hank Williams Sr. was pure, straight laced old time country. Maybe Hank Williams Jr. could be considered outlaw country. Hank Williams Sr. was probably the biggest country star ever.
Fiddle and violin are the same instrument. Just in the way it's played. Playing country music, it would be referred to by country music lovers as the "Fiddle". All other music, the "Violin".
Crawfish and Crawdad are the same species. They look more like a small lobster. There is plenty of great Hank Sr music out there. I have loved Hank Sr before his passing. Hank Jr started signing his daddy's song and didn't like it. When Hank Jr switched to his music, I loved it to. Some of that music referenced his father. Family Tradition. A funny story is my daughter would get pissed at us and would storm off and crank Janis Joplin. The funny part she was playing my albums, so it didn't bother me.
Crawfish and crawdad are exactly the same thing . Some also call them " mud bugs " . He throws in some Cajun terms , which are probably a lot of what you don't understand . Hank was not a Louisiana Cajun . He was from Alabama , like me .
In 1755, the French were expelled from Canada. They then migrated south to Louisiana. The legend of the crayfish was said to come about because the French brought with them the lobster. It lost so much weight during the journey that it became the crayfish😅
Great stuff. Hank Williams is a legend. I think you'd really like Hank, Jr., who has had a long and successful career. A popular one of his to check out and react to would be "A Country Boy Can Survive". That being said, he has a ton of great stuff over the years.
Hank Sr is/was pure country not outlaw country. You can't get more or purer than Hank Sr. The song is performed in the Cajun style of music. Cajuns were the Acadian French the Brits ran out of Canada and they ended up in the general area of Louisiana. The name got shortened to 'Cajun. The Music is very much French influenced and French is still spoken in many rural parts of Louisiana. Here is a sample of the real Cajun music and also show the type of dancing that goes on to that music: th-cam.com/video/HSERW72sSOQ/w-d-xo.html Another type of Music from this area is called Zydeco and it is the French, Cajun influenced music of the Black population of Southwest Louisiana. It is a much faster music and dance to the Cajun: th-cam.com/video/5hVaoP-Em2A/w-d-xo.html
Yes crayfish and crawdad are the same basic thing, with the obvious difference being that crayfish can mean singular or plural. They are somewhat like shrimp but they are more like small freshwater lobsters. Crawdad is more colloquial. Another colloquial name for them is 'mudbug/s'.
Violin has strings. Fiddle has strangs
Hahaha and I thought one was chin the other shoulder
was gonna say this
Lol
Well said
"Fruit jar" is a reference to the glass canning jars people used while drinking moonshine (illegal homemade alcohol).
Or jarring veggies...tomatoes and such.
My Grandfather was known as the best liquor maker in the county back in his day, way back in the day.
@@pegasus5287 yep.. my grandaddy worked the creek too.
File' gumbo. File' is a spice made from the ground leaves of the sassafras plant. The root of the same plant is used to make tea.

I listen to all kinds of music but sometimes you just need some Hank!
If you want yodeling, check out Hank Sr "Lovesick Blues", great to sing along to in the car.
I was raised on this man's music and am proud to say that I learned to play and sing from a songbook my father had. My dad loved this man.

“The Thibidaults, the Fontenots, the place is buzzing” refers to two families that attended the cookout
Wanna hear yodeling give Jimmy Rodgers a listen. He was called the singing brakeman whose career was in the late 20s and early 30s. He died young also from tb

Tippedoes and Fontenots. Family surnames. He means a crowd is gathering and the place is buzzing.
Fiddle has steel strings in country music 🤔
Violin has organic strings in classical music 🤔
Strings Resonate different..

Y'all will like "Move It On Over" and "Hey Good Lookin'", also by Hank Sr.
There's no difference between a fiddle and a violin except the context it's found in. They are exactly the same.
This is a song my family sings at family gatherings like easter and Christmas....hank sr and hank jr both have versions
Hank Sr. had what is known as a blue yodel.
If your in a tux it's a violin. If your in jeans it's a fiddle.
Great reaction guys, I'd recommend listening to "so lonesome I could cry"by him next.
Hank Williams started out singing with the Drifters, som will break your heart 😂.
Long Gone Lonesome Blues for some Hank Sr yodel.

Hank is a - perhaps the - country OG. Once you get a feel for his place in country music, listen to "The Ride", by David Allan Coe.
A lot of the words in the song are from Louisiana where they speak a language a that is a Patois, a French mixed with other languages and it's called French Creole. I used to work with an old guy from Louisiana named Sammy Lafitte, like the French pirate Jean Lafitte. He was born in the US but English was his second language.

Yes please listen to "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" and "Lovesick Blues" for Hank Sr yodeling!
dad and mom loved dancing to this one
Yes, they're the same thing, and up here in the northern lakes country of Minnesota we call them cray-fish.
People from Louisiana are called Cajuns mostly descended from French families.
Actually from Acadia in Canada, thus, Acadian or “Cajun.” But, yes, originally, French.
This is probably my favorite Hank Williams song. Another great one is "Why Don't You Love Me".
Thank you so much
Great song. One of my favorite Hank song is Little paper Boy.
My mom used to sing part of this as a Haha to us kids. We'd laugh. Hank Sr had spina bifida. He showed no outward signs he had it on his back. He drank and took meds to help with the pain.
It's freaking cool that you know of Hank lll. You should check out Hank lll's son IV and the Strange Band. Great reaction from you both
Crawdad is a lobster after taxes

A vilon has strings where as a fiddle has "strangs" I've been told

He's saying Fontaineaux
I am Southern but that is a new one on me !
Louisiana Creoles are a Louisiana French ethnic. Yeah he’s throwing a little criollo in the song. Fidel and the violin are basically the same
Yes, crawfish and crawdad are the same. Just a regional difference in terms. In East Texas/Louisiana, we say crawfish. But as a kid in the Ozarks, folks would say crawdad exclusively.
oh yeah, this is definitely a drinkin' song !!
I loved "Kawliga" when i was a kid.

Yodeling? Listen to Jimmie Rogers and Slim Whitman.
Crawdad to me, same tasty treat at the end if a hard day with some friends and a cold drink of your choice, and the state of Louisiana was french.
I have always heard a violin has "strings' and a fiddle has "strAngs" lol
Here in Louisiana we call crawfish mudbugs

There is no difference between the violin and fiddle except in what you play and where you are
playing it. He mentioned Louisiana family names and in the Marines I knew a guy name
Kibbodaux, I thought it was Kippadaux. He was a big guy nearly 7' tall, the food must be healthy.

of the baseball player Thibedaux, who was a pretty good player. Down South everybody is

One of my favorite Hank Williams Jr. songs is "I Don't Think Hank Would Have Done It This Way."
You should listen to Colija. From Hank Sr. . He has many great songs. I do believe there is a connection between old country and Irish folk music.
This is good two-stepping music! The Thibedeux and the Fonteneaux are family names!
It's spelled Thidodeaux and Fontenots. I live right in the heart of Cajun Country. Church Point Louisiana.
The bridges, the parts that hold the strings up off the body of the violin and fiddle may be different heights. Making the sounds slightly different. It's really about the setup a player prefers.
Hank Williams Sr. was pure, straight laced old time country. Maybe Hank Williams Jr. could be considered outlaw country. Hank Williams Sr. was probably the biggest country star ever.
Funny he referred to Irish talk. The whole style is Irish folk music brought to America!
Yep,, Crayfish, Crawfish and Crawdad are all the same thing. Just different names. Usually determined by which region of the country you are from.
Yes also called a mud bug

Now i want gumbo! So good
My mom used to sing this a lot. She passed away in 2019.
We called them mudbugs too.
It is even by the dozen
A violin is just a fiddle only played by different hands
a violin and a fiddle are the same thing and there is a joke saying the difference is a vioin has strings and a fiddle has strangs
