I have a interview of Hank Thompson that no body but Al Parrett has scene. It's a short one & one with Marty Haggard. Also, a video of George Strait & Randy Owens with Charlie Chase & I Leo J Eiffert Jr from the TV show Crook & Chase that was done at one of the Academy Of Country Music Award Show. What you think & who cares? |

Always a treat to hear Hank and the Brazos Valley Boys. My kind of music.
Bobby Garrett's t/a on Oklahoma Hills is killer.
Not Bobby, but a more recent rendition from TNN with TW cuttin' up and tearin' it down.

I just listened to a Hank Thompson CD last night, great stuff.
There was a song on the CD entitled: "The Mark of a Heel" that I really liked. |

Hank was one of my old time favorites. I met him once and we had a very nice chat. What a really nice fellow, very pleasant. Hey, hey bartender, I want a six pack to go; and remember Rub a dub dub three men in a tub sailing the ocean blue. I used to get requests to sing his song, blackboard of my heart. I know many of you remember those days, yeah the good ones. _________________ Zum D-10, GFI S10 keyless ultra, 2020 Flight Ready SD-10 Rittenberry, Quilter Steelaire, Telonics vol. pedal |

Count me in as a huge Hank Thompson fan. I saw him here in Oklahoma in his later years and he would sing and smile like he had never played before...and you know he had done those songs thousands of times before. Great performer even then....at our dances I usually do Oklahoma Hills, 6 Pack to Go and Blackboard of my heart, and the folks always like those tunes. I have a video of him that is about 2 hours long with his performances and interviews...I also have his book called "My Side of Life"....very interesting..maybe X rated in parts, but great book. I stopped in Waco Texas at the Chamber of Commerce and asked where his grave site is, and no one had ever heard of him...and they were in their 60s too, not youngsters...I gave them a hard time, said they should do their homework if they were to work in the CofC....shameful ! Told them he was the most famous person from Waco and they said no that was the banjo player and comedian..Steve Martin.
I also have a recording called Treasures that are songs that he and his band recorded in OKC but Capitol records never wanted...some pretty good tunes too. You should check out the Mills Brothers tribute he did...Curly Chalker all over it...great recording. I LOVE Hank Thompson ! _________________ Zum Encore, Remington D8 non pedal, Hallmark Mosrite clone, Gretsch 6120 DSW, Gretsch G5210T-P90 Electromatic Jet Two 90,1976 Ibanez L5, Eastman archtop, Taylor Dreadnaught, Telonics pedal, Squire Tele, Squire Strat, Fender Tonemaster, Gold Tone 5 string banjo, Little Wonder tenor banjo, 3 Roland cubes 30s and 80, Carvin combo bass amp

His band was one that everyone in the business wanted. It was the best, and he treated them like the best. He was a great singer too. _________________ Zum U-12, Carter SDU-12, Zum Encore, Emmons S-10, Emmons D-10, Nashville 400, Two Peavey Nashville 112, Boss Katana 100, Ibanez DD700, Almost every Lesson Jeff Newman sold.

In Mitch Drumm's color photo, Is that Curtis Potter on bass? Curtis played with Hank when I saw them at the Stage Coach in Stamford, Tx years ago. |
