Visiting the Ryman Auditorium was quite an experience. The building is historically the home of both Country Music and Rock ‘n’ Roll. This is where both Elvis and Hank Williams played.
Hank first played the Ryman in 1949 – the year I was born.
Looking at his suit on display in the Ryman was really sad. The guy was only coming up thirty when he died. There could have been so much more.
I could hear that lonesome whistle blow.
