    Craig, Thank you for being the only Reactor to review this very important song.
    More Waylon for you - Lonesome, Onry and Mean from his greatest hits. It really shows what a master guitarist he was!

    So much truth in this “Conversation”….
    In David Allan Coe’s song “The Ride” it says…(the ghost of Hank) stopped outside of Nashville.
    Hank was rejected from Nashville; Fired from the Opry. Hank was not a legend and not recognized until after his death, alone in the back of his car on New Year Eve.
    Lacking in medical knowledge in the times, Hank was self-medicating because of the pain from a mild form of Spina Bifida and MS. RIP Godfather of Country.

    Waylon Jennings was supposed to be on the doomed flight in 1959 that killed singers Buddy Holly, J.P. Richardson (aka The Big Bopper) and young Ritchie Valens. Waylon was playing bass for Budddy's backing band. He gave up his seat on the plane to an ill J.P. Richardson. It became known as The Day The Music Died and memorialized in the song "American Pie" by Don McLean. It's another great song and one you may have heard over the years.

I look forward to your reactions everyday!!! I probably already told you this, but Waylon has a whole live concert on UA-cam that has been broken down into individual songs!! It's too bad they don't let you hit like everytime you watch it or you'd have hundreds just from me!! I also try to watch them on all my different devices & I can click like on them!!

    I always found it pretty amazing that he achieved such great success. Mostly because his father became such an Icon of country music. I mean when you think about Elvis you never think of Lisa Marie, his daughter, and put them in equal standing (I don't know why?) She had an incredible voice. Same for Willie Nelson's sons they are all fantastic artists, but for some strange reason in present times not a lot of artists and musicians' children can reach the same pentacle of success, as their parents. Might have something to do with the way we consume our music today (just a thought)🤔
    Here's another suggestion if interested "That's The Way Love Goes Baby - Merel Haggard" and "Mamas, Don't Let Your Baby's Grow up to be Cowboy's - (Waylon & Willie) with Lyrics"

    Hank Williams was married to Billie Jean Horton when he died. It was Jr that had his mother Audrey buried next to him although they were divorced. I guess that he must have still loved her. They are probably still arguing while they lay next to each other 😅

    Hank jr. is romanticizing his past. It was obvious to everybody that knew her, but Miss Audrey only “loved” Hank for what she could gain from him.
    Everyone that ever knew her- ALL of them considered her a first class bitch.
    Nobody’s ever had a good thing to say about her.

    Man, I've waited soooo long for someone to finally react to this one.
    If I were to suggest another Hank Jr tune, it would be "All in Alabama". It's about a major turning point in his life and career. The song doesn't specifically say it, but he fell 500ft down a mountain and smacked his head against a boulder. It crushed his face, knocked out his eye, and exposed his brain. His friend had to trek out to get help, and left his young son with Hank to talk to him and keep him conscious. Help finally came like 4 hours later.. Hank woke up a few days later to Johnny and June Cash at his bedside.
    After that, Hank Jr always wore a hat, heard, and shades to cover up his scars.. But for the first time I saw him without his shades in an old interview I found recently. The scar didn't look too bad. Looked kinda cool.

    Hank Williams didn’t go to prison he was jailed overnight in Alexander City, Alabama on August 17, 1952 for disorderly conduct and public drunkenness. Earl Scruggs, Jerry Lee Lewis, he was influenced by many contemporary musicians who visited his family, including Merle Haggard, Johnny Cash, and Fats Domino, Jimmy Reed, B.B. King, Lightnin' Hopkins, R.L. Burnside, John Lee Hooker, Muddy Waters, learned Robert Johnson’s music. Williams has said that the blues are the foundation of country music and the beginning of everything musical in his family. He has also said that he's always been interested in stripped-back blues. I’m not sure right now what stripped-black blues is but I’m going to find it and listen. His grandfather was best friends with Hank Williams Sr. and would listen to Hank Williams records

  • @jewls9697

    Hank Williams Jr Gave Waylon the nickname Watasha! It means "Old Number One" in Japanese! He gave it to him after they recorded "The Conversation" He called him that in the song. Hank called him that because in that song it was Waylon's way of telling Hank Jr. it was okay to sing his daddy's songs!! It was at the same time that Waylon took Hank Jr out on the road with him because Hank Jr was at a very low point!! Of course Hank Williams Sr. gave Jr. the nickname Bocephus because at the Grand Old Opry there was a guy there that used the dummy doll. Like ventriloquism and the dummy doll was named Bocephus. So his daddy started calling him that. It's kinda funny all them boys that hung together each have their thing. Hank has a way of pulling his hat down over his ears being silly. Johnny Cash, of course, the man in black. Waylon always like to switch words around being goofy. I think Willie just had the pot thing lol. I can't think of anything for Kris or George Jones was always funny exceptwhenhewasnoshow Jones lol. I don't remember anything specific to Merle Haggard either. Just the song got me thinking about those things. Waylon & Willie done Mama's Don't Let Your Babies Grow up to be Cowboys! Sometimes together & separate when doing their own show! I'm sorry for writing you another novel!! Next time tell me to please shut the heck up!! 🤐🤠
