Happy Birthday, Hank Williams!

I hope y'all don't mind me wishing happy birthday to dead people.

Hank Williams was born in Alabama on this date in 1923. I could list all the songs that he wrote that I love, but it would take up a good long space. I'll always associate his music with the casual singing of family. Little songs in the kitchen, whistling in the hall. Let's watch a video of the man himself:

That is seriously the only performance video I could find in a half hour's search, so I'm sorry about Jr. poppin in there for a second. He died on New Year's day of '53, so he didn't get too far into the age of television.

And this is more like a music video, but it's my favorite HW song, if it's even possible to rank them:
