I've told this here before (and all my real life friends on here have heard it a thousand times), but my grandaddy was married to his momma (Audrey) before Hank Sr. Then when grandaddy was off fighting in WW2, she ran off with Hank.
He’s in a real small circle of folks in American culture: him, Willie, Elvis, Dolly, not many others.

I saw him play a show at the Monroe Civic Center back in ‘82. It was kinda a country show. Bocephus played a white Les Paul Custom through a Marshall stack. They played a ZZ Top medley and just rocked the frick out the entire show. Great time.
Happy Birthday Hank and I hope you get stoned at the jukebox!

Now that's some interesting family lore!
But I guess everything happens for a reason. Your grandmother sounds like she was a character!

I’ve always been fascinated by his fall off Ajax Peak on the Idaho/Montana border in 1975, that he miraculously survived (the details of his injuries are pretty gruesome), and how using a cowboy hat, dark glasses, and thick beard to hide scars gave him his signature style.
It would be interesting to know the trajectory of his career had that incident not happened.

He has so many good songs
The Conversation with Waylon is one of my favorites
OD in Denver
Dinosaur
Outlaw Women
Then the posthumous duet he did with his dad “Tear in my Beer.” I just can’t imagine how hard that had to have been to take a demo recording his dad never released and use it to create a duet

A high school buddy of mine's father owned the local Dodge dealership. He would take a used 4WD off the lot some weekends after a rain and we would be out in the woods 4 wheeling, drinking beer, and singing along with Hank. Then drop it off at detail to be cleaned up.

Have a signed movie poster by him of a movie that he was in.

My Grandaddy and Dad loved Hank, Waylon and Merle. Grew up with them playing on the record player on the weekends.
