I just got of the phone with Donny Herron, he will be playing fiddle with III and Kayton Roberts on steel.
This is an all Hank weekend on the Opry and the first time that Hank jr. and HankIII will be on stage together. Jet Williams will play on Friday night.

He was mighty fine.

That would be Steve Wilkerson sounded great on his Derby!

I know my eyesite is getting worse as I age, but I did not see Kayton with HWIII. Big disappointment, but HWIII was fairly decent, even without a steel.

I couldn't take any more of HWII. I think HWI is rolling over.
I enjoyed HWIII, and I'm glad he came on early. Where was Keyton Roberts?????????

...and what about that bass man's outfit...

What a great show! The weakest part of the show was ol' Tater and he was good too!! I liked Hank III's stuff and think he's got a good future in the alternative country scene. My favorite was Hank Jr. as he's had a lot of good tunes that I've played with many bands and always have a great time. Remember "All My Rowdy Friends are Comin' Over Tonight", "A Country Boy Can Survive", "Old Habits", and a host of others especially the one about "If you Don't Like Hank Williams, Jr. you can kiss my @$$"

or something like that. I thought Steve Wilkerson did a great job on steel with the whites. I'd like to see more of him. He's also a hot lead guitar player. Vince was a little suspect on his vocal as it seemed to me like he might be having some throat problems or something. He still did a good job though, although I'd have liked to see Steve W. doing some steel on that tune. You got to hand it to ol' Buck White too, the boy can play some hot piano when he wants to. All in all it was a good show and I enjoyed it. Bocephus Rules!!!!! JH

I thought Hank III was outstanding. No pretense or polish. Just this who I am. Real country with soul. I think Little Jimmy is losing it, but he is a blessed individual to still be able to get up there at 82 and do it. I can forgive him. You have to smile.[This message was edited by Kevin Hatton on 05 January 2003 at 03:54 PM.]

I can't take more than a moment or two of Hank Jr., either - I can't see, or hear, any more than a famous surname! Mike Daley played very well behind him, though.

Great stuff from Steve Wilkerson with the 'Whites'!

It sounded to me like Vince sang that song in too low a key - he doesn't usually slip up like that.

An interesting show with plenty of steel!

Jerry - I guess that I'll just have to join the ones who "pucker up"! I may be wrong, but I'd be willing to bet that there's quite a few of us...

Steve, That doghouse bass man usually plays with BR-549. That jumpsuit he wears is bellbottomed and has sequeins on the lower part of the legs. I don't recall his name but have seen him play with them before. He usually puts on a good show by himself.

Hank Williams III was great! The bass man was wearing those coveralls like Shot use to wear.
Also, Steve should have been playing on "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry" to me it cried for steel. Oh well...I enjoyed the tribute alot!

What is the world coming to when I start agreeing with Theresa? Oh well, what she said was right on!!!!!

Steve Hinson · Post by **Steve Hinson** » 5 Jan 2003 7:06 pm

Theresa-I remember Shot wearing those coveralls down at Sho~Bud...Porter Wagoner gave me a pair just like'em!No sequins on"em though...he wore these at Center Hill Lake fishing...[This message was edited by Steve Hinson on 05 January 2003 at 07:07 PM.]

I guess Kayton couldn't be there. I was lookin forward to his playing with HankIII, but Donny did a great job(for just playin' fiddle).I liked HankIII and would love to see more acts go out on the Opry stage with out drums and a dozen guitar amps behind them.
I turned the TV off when Hank Jr. came on stage!

Theresa Galbraith · Post by **Theresa Galbraith** » 6 Jan 2003 5:44 am

Steve,
If you ever make it in Nashville perhaps you can wear those coveralls on stage!

LOL
By the way, I love your new doo!

I tought the TV portion was a good example, (for a change) of how impromtue(?) the good old O'pry can be! I enjoyed it for a change! [mistakes and all!] "Big John" http://community.webtv.net/KeoniNui/doc http://community.webtv.net/KeoniNui/docO

Did anybody catch the fiddle Hank Jr. thru at the end of his song?

If not, it's now toothpicks.

Stephen Winters · Post by **Stephen Winters** » 6 Jan 2003 11:12 am

Someone probably caught the fiddle. That is a running gag Hank jr does. Most times that I have seen him in concert, he throws that fiddle, and a guy goes down on one knee at the end of the stage and catches it.
