26 Sep 12 - 02:09 AM (#3410279) Subject: Hanks for the memory From: JennieG What was it about the name Hank for recording artists in the middle of last century that was so popular? We had: Hank Williams Hank Snow Hank Locklin and there were probably more......while those who weren't named Hank were probably named Slim. I bet most of you can still remember the words to a lot of their songs, too. Cheers JennieG |

26 Sep 12 - 03:10 PM (#3410587) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: Henry Krinkle Spade Cooley? He beat and stomped his wife to death in a drunken rage. In front of their little daughter. Son House would say Spade Cooley knew all about the blues. Therefore, he was NOT monkey junk. He was the real thing. (:-( 0)= |

26 Sep 12 - 03:27 PM (#3410592) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: pdq Spade Cooley was from Oklahoma, but he was from a wealthy family and was well-trained in music, a violin player and arranger. What he did was pollute real Western Swing with Classical Music cliches and Pop drivel. OK, Spade Cooley's music was monkey junk. Hank Penny and Arthur "Guitar Boogie" Smith had fine bands and made some great uniquely American music. Spade Cooley sucks. |

26 Sep 12 - 03:46 PM (#3410600) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: Henry Krinkle I didn't say his music was good. Although he had a great steel player in Joachim Murphy. He knew what the blues was,though. (:-( ))= Son House: Monkey Junk |

26 Sep 12 - 05:50 PM (#3410643) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: Henry Krinkle I recall a sitcom in the mid 60's called Hank. It didn't last. Pretty mindless. Does anyone else remember it? What was it about? (:-( ))= |

27 Sep 12 - 07:44 AM (#3410838) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: Beer No much to add as it has pretty much been covered. Truly some great music came from these singers called "Hank". H. Williams has to be the leader of all country composers for his time. I regard him as the greatest of all, but that's just me. Adrien |

27 Sep 12 - 05:27 PM (#3411062) Subject: RE: Hanks for the memory From: JennieG And he would have been 90 just recently, if he was still around. Wonderful songwriter - his songs are still popular. A few years ago while visiting Canada we saw the movie "The show he never gave" - it was an amazing movie, very good. Cheers JennieG |
