My family will all be here for drinks,entertainment and food from Mino's!

Good call on Minos, Myrna! Great food! Enjoy yerselves.

Johnny Cash has a number. Help Me and I Came to Believe appear on his last album (A Hundred Highways).

Tonight!

As mentioned, tonight's show is being filmed as part of a documentary on The Spades. Don't know much about it. I know it's being produced by the Sympatico MSN entertainment folks and being put together by Frame Blender the people who did the last Sloan video. Whatever it is, I know the Hammer folks are about to liven it up.

Have a great time everyone! Damn.....Damn......

I suggest keeping it all tightly wound up inside for a year or so, then go get a job at the post office.

Still can't stand upright hahahahaha

Line of the day! Good one, A-M!

enough's enough.

I believe Steely Dan is writing a letter to Kung.

This will be fucking awesome!!!

What he said.

I'd give my left nut to be at this one.

I'm no expert on the subject, but it seems to me that Hank Williams was a very fragile person, both physically and emotionally, from a very early age. He dealt with pain on many different levels and that pain came to permeate his music.

There's no question that part of his abuse of booze and pills was to kill the physical pain that haunted him throughout his life.

As popo rightly points out, Hank had a difficult time dealing with dominant women in his life, particularly his mother (his father left shortly after he was born) and his first wife, both of whom wanted to direct his career for their own purposes and who were constantly at war with each other....with Hank caught in the middle.

Lastly, even his music was a difficult place for him to be. What Hank was trying to do musically, with his blend of honky tonk/blues/gospel etc was seen for the most part as being outside the norm by country purists who termed it "hillbilly music". Hank felt deeply, to the very end, that he was looked down upon by the very community where he so desperately sought acceptance.

That's certainly not the whole story and separating fact from fiction regarding Hank Williams is difficult, but I think that's part of it (in a nutshell).

I said to Hank Williams: how lonely does it get?

Hank Williams hasn't answered me yet

But I hear him coughing all night long

A hundred floors above me

In the tower of song

Leonard Cohen

a big legend and never will die

Amen to that popo.

Hank Williams killed himself only in the sense that he knew his combination of booze, drugs (morphine/pain-killers), ill-health and self-destructive lifestyle would eventually take his life ("I'll Never Get Out of This World Alive").

Recent retakes of very old songs (with approximate date of original)

6. Bruce Springsteen - Jesse James (Eddy Arnold, 1959)

Jesse James is a traditional American folk song. Eddy Arnold did a version in 1959, but it's not the original. Just a clarification.

Recent retakes of very old songs (with approximate date of original)

1. Hoedown - Bela Fleck and the Flecktones (Aaron Copland, 1942)

2. The Souljazz Orchestra - Creator Has A Master Plan (Pharoah Sanders, 1969)

3. Sting - In Darkness Let Me Dwell (John Dowland, c. 17th century)

4. Norah Jones - Cold, Cold Heart (Hank Williams, 1951)
