Hank had an amazing life story -- grew up an abused child in Nova Scotia, heard Jimmie Rogers, and went on to have a long, long career. His influence on both Johnny Cash and Willie Nelson (and me) is huge, plus -- though he doesn't play a solo here -- was one of the freshest guitarists ever to take a solo in Nashville (Chet Atkins idolized him).
He's a clip of Hank actually playing, not lipsynching. Note Chubby Wise on fiddle.

Hank was a true craftsmen at the guitar. His music trascended generations with a ver unassuming style and comfort. Chubby played fiddle with Merle Haggard for a while during Merle's infatuation with Bob. He played Corine Corina on Merle's Live Lp okie from muskogee.
