Comments: Like yourself, Hank, I served in Uncle Sams Navy (Submarines) and always like western swing. My dad played the fiddle and I learned the Bass during high school. While in the navy I played in several bands and in general had a wonderful time. I have always loved your music, I remember "Yesterdays Girl" and a song that had ...the dungeon of my dreams as part of ther lyrics....but cannot remember the rest of it. This was back in the 40's. My best to you and may our GOD of love ever delight to dwell with and bless you. Keep up the good work.

Comments: I will be seeing Hank Thompson next month in Billings, MT. I have enjoyed listing to him ever since I can remember. It was hard to list my favorites above because I have so many. I recently saw Don Williams in Billings, who has always been my idol-he was wonderful. Excellent web page.

Comments: "SINCE MY EARLIEST MEMORIES, HANK THOMPSON WAS MY FAVORITE." THE FIRST SONG OF HIS I CAN REMEMBER IS HOW COLD HEARTED. MY FATHER, WHO IS A FAN OF HANK'S, HAS SEVERAL OF HANK'S RECORDS AND ALBUMS, MORE THAN ANY OTHER COUNTRY AND WESTERN PERFORMER. I EVEN REMEMBER SEEING HANK IN PERSON WHEN I WAS VERY YOUNG. AFTERWARDS, MY FATHER SPOKE TO HANK; I WAS TOO SHY TO TALK TO HIM MYSELF. IN 1963, WHEN HANK WAS IN ST. LOUIS, MY PARENTS GOT A PERSONALLY AUTOGRAPHED PICTURE OF HANK FOR ME. AND IN 1998, MY FATHER SHOWED ME A CD COLLECTION OF HANK'S SONGS AND IT WAS AUTOGRAPHED FOR MY FATHER BY HANK TOO! I'VE LISTENED TO THEM MANY TIMES AND IT'S HARD TO PICK A FAVORITE, THEY'RE ALL GREAT AND HOW COLD HEARTED IS JUST AS I REMEMBERED IT. MY FATHER WHO IS A LOCAL COUNTRY AND WESTERN PERSON SINGS MANY OF HANK'S SONGS, HIS FAVORITE IS HONKY TONK ANGELS AND SINGS IT OFTEN. HANK IS MY DAD'S FAVORITE AND GROWING UP WITH HANK, HE'S MINE TOO!

Comments: I have always liked Country Music, but the new Country has gotten too far into the Rock, Pop field. Give me the Old Traditional country and day. People like Hank Thompson, Ernest Tubb, Ray Price, George Jones, Jim Reeves, Hank Snow, Hank Williams Sr, these are the guys who made Country Music.

Comments: Hank, you will be surprised to know that country music is extremely popular in my country. In fact the radio stations still play country songs more than 50 years old. Hank, you are one of my all time greats. I love Wild Side Of Life and your rendition of Oklahoma Hills. I train race horses here in Dubai so you can call me a bit of a cowboy. One of my vets is in fact from Oklahoma. Come and see us if you are ever in town.

Comments: I have been a fan of Hank Thompson for many years and have been very frustrated in the lack of info available and am in hog heaven since finding this on the net. The "new" country is not even music to me and I suspect that the "new" is a product of Nashville manfactured simply to sell and they haven't sold much of it to me. I have told the local radio stations that unless I can expect to hear Hank now and then, I won't be listening at all. Hank Thompson is the best and has been recognized as such and I can't understand why we haven't heard more of him. Probably 10 years ago he came to the Northwest and played here in town but without his own musicians, but it was really a pleasure to see him in person. I hope he remembers that he has fans outside of Texas,
parcticulary in the Pacific Northwest and in the State of Washington. I will be keeping in contact to learn what is happening in Hank Thompson's world.

Comments: I had the pleasure of "working the door" when Hank played there in Bandera,TX back in August, 1999. He and his wife were lovely people. We have a photo and 24 by 36 inch display, including an old 78 RPM of the "Wild Side of Life." It's on display in the restaurant at the Cabaret Cafe and Dance Hall. We're looking forward to having him there again on Feb. 24, 2000.

Comments: I am an avid fan to country music. The new style is good listening, I have the radio on all day at work and at home. I love when the stations revert back to the old country tunes. The artists such as Hank Thompson, Johnny Cash, Patsy Cline, Pasty Montana, Loretta Lynn, to name a few have done for country music what the new artists are trying to do now. My 11 year daughter was in a lip sync contest a couple of years ago and she performed the song Cowboy Sweetheart and she received a standing ovation for her preformance, they loved her. I am going to keep on listening country music.

Comments: I was remembering Hank Thompson to a friend a day or so ago and trying to recall his songs. Today I wasn't busy I thought, "I wonder if I can find out anything about him on the internet?" I use http://www.google.com as my 'home' page so I thought that was a great place to start. The search returned [1,260] hits on Hank Thompson! I guess you can find out just about all you need to know about Hank on the 'net! Yours was one of the first few sites I have visited and it looks great. I let the midi play in the background while I read the bio (until it got stuck on the accordian or organ solo) then I clicked on this to tell you what a great job I thought you had done. Hank would be (or perhaps is, if he knows about it) proud of what you have done.

Comments: I'm skipping some of that info above cause I put it on the Ray Price page. I'm a long time fan of Hank Thompson and I've seen him twice. In the early part of his career, he recorded "Tomorrow Night" and "My Front Door is Open [for someone like you]" The lyrics were not on your page and I was wondering where I could get them.

Comments: Excellent site. I was a songwriter and muscian whose roots were country, born in Tx., grew up in Tx. and the Mo. Ozarks. Got turned off by Nashville politics but still managed to put out several non-country songs, Carl Carlton's "Ain't Been No One Before You." (ABC) "Superdragon Soundtrack" (Mercury Polygram), Bunny Sigler's "Girl, You're Drivin' Me Crazy" (Phila. Int'l./CBS), Donna Lynn Guile's "Settle Down" (Cypress Queen), and a couple of others including Loleatta Holloway's top 30 disco with 3 Billboard Picks, "That's What You Said" released as an album, a 45 and an LP Disco cut, debuted on the old Merv Griffin show. (Salsoul/Goldmind/RCA). My first love & personal preference is "classic country" with real fiddles, acoustic guitars, pedal steel . . . forget the horns and string "sweeteners." Had the pleasure of partying with Faron Young in 1991 and had the privilege to have once worked with Christ Ethridg, Byron Berline, Barry Cowsill, Shannon O'Neill and a few other Ca. Country Rockers. You have an incredible site and the Internet is all the better for it being here. Keep up the great work and I wish you continued success.

Comments: I have listened to country music since I was very young. We used to listen to Clint Texas. I love the old traditional singers. I grew up listening to Hank Snow, Hank Thompson, Hank Williams, Sr., Eddy Arnold, Lefty, Jean Shepard, Tex Ritter, Stonewall Jackson, Bill Anderson, and all the rest. Their music can't be replaced. Some of the new singers are staying in the style some, but most of them sound more hard rock than country. I really miss hearing the older "good songs and singers" on the radio.

Hank Thompson played there this past August and will be there again in February. He and his wife are great people. I'm really excited that Kitty Wells will be there on March 18th. I've been a fan of hers for almost fifty years.
