eze - You're brutal, man!

Never listened to Hank Williams...not my style. Not enough screaming or growling for me.

Jon, unfortunately I will not be able to visit next week. There's been a change of plans. Some other time!

The Hank Williams Monday Night Football cigar. Shaped like a cigar, comes in a box shaped and painted to look like a football field. You open the box, and it plays the MNF theme with Hank singing. Fireworks shoot out and a little camera zips along a wire to get you close to the cigar action.

Geez Jon, you couldn't drop me an email invite? I'd a flown down for that!

I'm a huge fan of his, last time I saw him in concert I was front row center, I could smell the whiskey.

Saw his son in concert also, SteveR, check out Hank Williams III, I bet you'ld find some of his stuff to your liking.

The dude to the left of HWJ is Dapperdan after 6 months on high speed chicken feed. The guy in the pink shirt's out for whatever he can get (j/k ya'll. I don't know these caballeros from Caine).

"Dang...now that's a humidor. "

JHC, you have idea what a sweet humi that is.

I was able to visit the CAO HQ with Country back in October. That humi is huge and is filled only with viotas they are experimenting with. Saw a BUNCH of different blends they were playing with. It was freakin' sweet! They even give you a little gift bag after the tour and you get to pick out your own stick ftom their assortment(unfortuantely, the experiemental blends were not included).

Of course, Jon was on the phone the whole time and I did not get a chance to meet him. But I did wave at him while watching the "Seeds to Sow" DVD in their lounge area. lol

Kidding aside, unlike some of the other cigar "families", I have nEVER heard anything negative about the CAO group.
In fact, they are generally thought of very well by most tobacconists AND "end users".

Now, Hank Williams Jr., I'm not too sure about...

LOL! Looks a little fruity.
Jon has haunting eyes. Perhaps he'd rather be elsewhere.
The lady on the right looks attractive but the gentleman on the left looks older than I remember him. Isn't he the bald fella on the CAO website?

SeaRaptor, I disagree. Have you ever heard Hank Sr? Their styles are totally different, and I prefer Hank Jr's style. Roudy. He's a very talented man.

I love Hank Jr.

He may have been a shadow of his father when Audrey was influencing his style, but once he broke loose he really blazed some trails.

I LOVE Hank Jr, AND Hank Sr.

And Searaptor........lets not forget that Hank Jr will probably NEVER be the drunkard his old man was.

At any rate, BOTH of them had to overcome criticism from the Nashville status quo. Hank Jr was able to do it in his lifetime; Hank Sr. died while still banned from the Opry for drunkedness.

Artist/Band: Williams Hank Jr
Lyrics for Song: Country Boy Can Survive
Lyrics for Album: Greatest Hits


The preacher man says it’s the end of time
And the Mississippi River she’s a goin’ dry
The interest is up and the Stock Markets down
And you only get mugged
If you go down town

I live back in the woods, you see
A woman and the kids, and the dogs and me
I got a shotgun rifle and a 4-wheel drive
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I can plow a field all day long
I can catch catfish from dusk till dawn
We make our own whiskey and our own smoke too
Ain’t too many things these ole boys can’t do
We grow good ole tomatoes and homemade wine
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Because you can’t starve us out
And you cant makes us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We came from the West Virginia coalmines
And the Rocky Mountains and the and the western skies
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

I had a good friend in New York City
He never called me by my name, just hillbilly
My grandpa taught me how to live off the land
And his taught him to be a businessman
He used to send me pictures of the Broadway nights
And I’d send him some homemade wine

But he was killed by a man with a switchblade knife
For 43 dollars my friend lost his life
Id love to spit some beechnut in that dudes eyes
And shoot him with my old 45
Cause a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

Cause you can’t starve us out and you can’t make us run
Cause one-of- ‘em old boys raisin ole shotgun
And we say grace and we say Ma’am
And if you ain’t into that we don’t give a damn

We’re from North California and south Alabam
And little towns all around this land
And we can skin a buck; we can run a crop line
And a country boy can survive
Country folks can survive

not Jr. or even a Williams, but a great tune anyway . . .

It's the same old tune, fiddle and guitar
Where do we take it from here
Rhinestone suits and new shiny cars
We've been the same way for years
We need to change

Somebody told me when I got to Nashville
Son you finally got it made
Old Hank made it here, we’re all sure that you will
But I don't think Hank done it this way
I don't think Hank done it this way

Ten years down the road, making one night stands
Speeding my young life away
Tell me one more time just so I understand
Are you sure Hank done it this way
Did Ol' Hank really do it this way?

I've seen the world with a five piece band
Looking at the back side of me
Singing my songs and one of his now and then
But I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way
No I don't think Hank done 'em this a'way

I dig Bobby Dylan and I dig Johnny Cash
And I think Waylon Jennings is a table thumpin' smash
And hearin' Joni Mitchell feels as good as smokin' grass
And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass

Chorus:
'Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand

I said, I dig Roger Miller, Merle Haggard; George Jones
Shotgun Willie Nelson and them rockin' Rollin' Stones
And Jerry Lee's still gotta be the coolest in the class
And if you don't like Hank Williams, honey, you can kiss my ass.

Chorus:
'Cause I think what they've done is well worth doin'
And they're doin' it the best way that they can
You're the only one that you are screwin'
When you put down what you don't understand

All my rowdy friends have settled down and it seems to be more in the laid back songs.
Nobody wants to get drunk and get loud. Everybody just wants to go back home.
I myself have seen my wilder days and I have seen my name at the top of the page,
but I need to find a friend just to run around.But no one wants to get high on the town
and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

And I think I know what my father meant when he sang about a lost highway and old George Jones I'm glad to see he's finally getting straight,
and Waylon staying home and loving Jesse more these days,
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

and the hangovers hurt more then they used to and corn bread and ice tea took the place of pills and ninety-proof,
and it seems like none of us do things quite like we used to do
and nobody wants to get high on the town and all my rowdy friends have settled down.

Yeah I think I know what my father meant when he sang about his lost highway and Johnny Cash don't act like he did back in '68
and Kris he is a movie star and he's moved off to L.A.
and nobody wants to get drunk and get loud and all my rowdy friends have settled down

yeah me and my rowdy friends have rowded on down.

Hank Sr, Hank Jr, and Hank III, are all great talents, and very different styles from each other. Although Hank III can belt out a moaning blues tune, and sound just like his grandaddy, just be prepared for his last set when on stage, it ain't anything like his dad or his grandads music. I recommend everyone should check out Hank Willimas III if you get a chance.


"If The Devils Got A Daughter"
His redition of "Cocaine Blues"
Or if you prefer "Mary Fu@#$ngJane"

eh, perhaps I was a little harsh on JR. :)

Just tainted by the two times I went to see him in concert. The first time he was a no show. The second time he showed up at almost midnight stagering around with a bottle of whiskey slurring his songs. The lights went on after about a half hour-45 mins. The crowd was not pleased. That was Nassau coliseum on Long Island in the early 90's. (shrug)
