This comment from Hank Sundell was posted on this website under an article I wrote about the recent Steve Earle novel which includes the ghost of Hank Williams as a character.
I thought the comment was so real and meaningful that I would give it a post of its own:
Hank Williams was and still is my hero. His voice and songs brought much comfort to us who served in the army and later in a army hospital. He was blue collar and down right a nice guy. There will be only one voice like his. God Bless you Hank where ever you are but I suspect on a cloud somewhere bringing tears to our eyes. You are sir an important part of my recovery as I was in Brooke General Hospital and had the privilege of listening to that wonderful God Given voice. There will be only one Hank Williams. Where ever you are Hank I love you, the rest of the world loves you…
I agree! There will absolutely be only one Hank! What an incredible man, whose wisdom and words have touched the lives of countless billions of people all over the world. Thanks for this blog for keeping us posted on “Hank”. And I also want to thank David Church for keeping the music of Hank Williams out there.
