amazing that this old footage has survived - technology is wonderful.

That song's not really my style, bit too much of a country cliche (mind he probably created the cliche) but he could really sing.

and that duet - how much passion is he putting into that performance?

this is a good clip

- Hank doesn't look like he believes what he's singing;-)

I didn't know he wrote I Saw The Light - The The had a dark american gothic version in the 90s

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkK4hwlZWjM

i love Hank Williams also.He is my idol and i love his music.especially the song called,"Beyond the sunset".that song is so sad.here is a list of songs that i love by him the most:
Beyond the sunset
Dear Brother
your cheating heart
Why don't you love me
I'm so Lomesome i could cry

i provided another link RLF.but this vid has Roy Acuff and his band singing first and than i think Hank comes in next.i've watched this one for many times.It's pretty good.hope you like it.:)
there's so many songs by Hank that is great,and true to the heart that it is unbelieveable.But one is one of my favorites called,
"The tramp on the street".

beautiful song.

hi thai_guy

i hope that this post comes out right because i had to push the back button for a second to see something and then when i went back here to add my comment i had another blank page, so i am going to start all over,,,here goes..lol

cool on providing the video, that link did work...thanks...

i also like i'm so lonesome i could cry and i like your cheating heart...didn't he also do walkin' the floor over you"? or was that ernest tubb? lmao

have a beautiful rest of the day!


myLot reputation of 92/100. Thai_Guy (676)   ranked 78 out of 8,995 in listening to music  3 years ago

yes he did RLF do walking the floor over you.that was a biggie back than too.:) i love Hank,and think he sings great to the heart.what do you think about the song called,"Beyond the sunset,and Dear Brother"?
those two are about the saddest songs i've ever heard in my life.it is sadder than Steve Wariner's song,"Holes in the floor of heaven".


myLot reputation of 93/100. RLFinNash (5721)   ranked 63 out of 8,995 in listening to music  3 years ago

i am not familiar with those other two songs by Hank Williams, but i have probably heard them before down the line somewhere. hagd.

"Beyond the sunset"By Hank Williams
should you go first and i remain to walk the road alone
i'll live in mem'rys garden dear with happy days we've known
in spring,i'll wait for roses red when fades the lilacs blue
and in early fall when brown leaves call i'll catch a glimpse of you
should you go first and i remain for battles to be fought
each time you've touched along the way will be a hallowed spot
i'll hear your voice i'll see your smile though blindly i may grope
the mem'ry of your helping hand will buoy me on with hope
beyone the sunset oh blissful morning when with our saviour heaven is begun
Earth's toiling ended oh glorious dawning beyond the sunset when day is done

should you go first and i remain to finish with the scroll
no less than shadows shall ever creep in to make this life seem so droll
we've known so much of happiness we've had our cup of joy
and mem'ry is one gift of god that death cannot destroy
i want to know each step you take that i may walk the same
for someday down that lonely road you'll hear me call your name
should you go first and i remain one thing i'll have you to do
walk slowly down that long long path for soon i'll follow you
in that fair homeland we'll know no parting beyond the sunset for evermore.

Dear Brother By Hank Williams
Dear Brother,Mama left us this morning
Death's angels took her away
She's gone to meet Daddy up in Heaven
but we'll meet again some day
She left this world with a smile on her face
whisp'ring the saviours name
Dear Brother,Mama left us this morning
for the city where is no pain
as i stood by her bedside,those last few moments
i lived my childhood again
i thought of you Brother and of the old homestead
and my tears they fell like rain

Words and Music:Hank Williams

What is your favorite piece of music to play on an instrument?
On the violin I like playing a Saraband by Handel. It is what I use to warm up. It is not too slow...
