"Hank Williams, Sr."
(1923-1953) born on Sep 17

US "singer, songwriter". "The Hillbilly Shakespeare was instrumental in popularizing country-western music with "Your Cheatin' Heart," and "Jambalaya.""

A song ain't nothin' in the world but a story just wrote with music to it.

"I was a pretty good imitator of Roy Acuff, but then I found out they already had a Roy Acuff, so I started singin' like myself."

"If a song can't be written in 20 minutes, it ain't worth writing."

I don't know what you mean by country music. I just make music the way I know how.
