Happy Birthday Hank

[Nethybridge]

Hiram " Hank " Williams born today 100 years ago.

Squeezed a lot into his 29 years on the planet and gave us dozens of great songs.

[Skyedriver]

And Joanne Shaw Taylor's dog is also named Hank.......

[Polly Grigora]

Been educated, didn't know this

I said to Hank Williams, ''How lonely does it get?''
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
Oh, a hundred floors above me
In the Tower of Song

Another line in that song says...

"But you'll be hearing from me baby, long after I'm gone"

Quite apposite, in old Hank's case.

No longer aches in the places where he used to play

He'll never, he'll never have to lose it again
