I think that a lot of time has be spent acknowledging the very real pain and suffering that Hank went through and which he also, apparently, put others through, but it is worth remembering that this is the man that sang "Hey Good Lookin'", Setting the Woods on Fire",
"Honky Tonkin'", "Jambalaya", "Move it on Over" These ain't no unhappy songs so evidently he had had a jolly side to his character.
