Musicians of all genres look up to this man. I have priceless memories of mama and daddy always listening to him when I was small. As a matter of fact the few times I saw my Dad dance, it was always when Hank was playing. Sitting here thinking about this on New Years Day, I realize my Dad was a good country swing dancer. Thanks for the memories, Hank Williams.

• "A good song is a good song, and if I'm lucky enough to write it, well....! I get more kick out of writing than I do singing. I reckon I've written a thousand songs and had over 300 published." — Hank Williams
• "When I wrote about Hank Williams 'A hundred floors above me in the tower of song', it's not some kind of inverse modesty. I know where Hank Williams stands in the history of popular song. 'Your Cheatin' Heart', songs like that, are sublime, in his own tradition, and I feel myself a very minor writer." — Leonard Cohen
• "I became aware that in Hank's recorded songs were the archetype rules of poetic songwriting. The architectural forms are like marble pillars and they had to be there. Even his words - all of the syllables are divided up so they make perfect mathematical sense. You can learn a lot about the structure of songwriting by listening to his records." — Bob Dylan

Gotta run out for awhile but before I do, here's some vintage video , chosen because I love to watch him move, especially in that gold lame jacket!
