Steve, your're missing out. Hank Jr kicks @ss! No crybaby girly songs from him.

"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...

Spade, I am hoping to make it down there to see for myself some day. Next week would be good. ( wink,wink)
Looks like an awesome tour.

Whiskey Bent and Hell Bound....

So When Is Gretchin Wilson showin up? and what time's the party??

I'll kick the cars off the blocks and do a little weed eatin... (last line for Dr. P) ;0)~~~

Hog

Is Hank Going Ghetto ?

^ from hanging out with Kid Rock!

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?

Streaks on the windows . . .

Ramon - That's Mickey Pegg. You probably didn't recognize him without his bowtie.

But, I know you were cracking a joke 😉

^ No, just being dumb.
Very nice speaking with you, Steve.

You as well, sir. Best wishes to you and yours this holiday season. I look forward to having a cigar with you some time in the future.

Good for nuthin' drunk. Half rate musician living in the shadow of his dad.

I'd hate to hear what you have to say about Hank III...

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.

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

Hank looks old!

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
