Dear Django and Rockman,
A warm thank you for you both.
I will have everything on Hank Williams, and this is very great.
I had read a summary of his biography when I was a teenager, I was very impressed (but not very interested in his music at that time).
Now I really love his music. I understand why he is considered a reference (and more then that) in country music.
I recently found an interview (dated 2003) of Hank's chauffeur about the night he died :

Probably you already know this. Since the beer cans found in his car were Falstaff beer I have bought on ebay a vintage Falstaff beer bottle opener.
Just to think of him when opening a beer...
Anyway, thank you again and I hope to see you next tour (the Stones of course).

Old Hank is fantastic... but you already know that of course.
I would like to make a road trip to the US to follow Hank's path... to visit the places he has been to, to visit the places he played, to go out honky tonkin', to visit the Grand Ole Opry (despite it has moved), Montgomery, etc.
Probably for the next Stones tour in the US ? But the way, I was in Washington and Foxborough shows this year.
