News video on Holly Williams in Knoxville

April 3, 2009 by ahankwilliamsjournal

On Thursday, Hank Williams’ granddaughter  Holly Williams visited the building where her grandfather spent his last night alive. She also met the  bell hop at the former Andrew Johnson Hotel in Louisville Kentucky. The 18 year old at the time  helped Hank into his room and back down to his car the next morning Sunday December 31st 1952. The building is now used by the local school board.

Here’s a story and link to video from Volunteer TV.

And here’s the story and link from WBIR-TV.

Thanks for the tip from A. Michael Uhlmann, amu communications, who left a note and link in the ‘About’ section above.

The last days of Hank Williams continue to fascinate fans as so many uncertainties remain. The trip through Tennesee, the stop in Knoxville, and then on  to Oak Hill, West Virginia, where Hank was pronounced dead, continues to be big news in the media in local states.

Earlier, I linked to a news story in  a West Virginia newspaper about a film on Hank Williams which is reportedly in pre production.
