Hank
Williams is a devoted golfer as many Floridians.
However, more than golf, Hank Williams loves B-Western cowboy
heroes and the movies they made in the 1930s-40s-and 1950s.
His love for the oat burners, as they were often referred to, began
before he started working as an usher in the State Theater in
Elizabethtown, Kentucky – but those days at the Theater certainly
solidified his interest. Hank
was born in Cumberland, Tennessee. He
served in the U.S. Army, played semi-pro baseball, cowrote a couple of
songs, produced a session at Columbia studios in Nashville, owned a small
film company, and promoted country music shows for some of Nashville’s
finest. Hank lives in
Melbourne, FL with his wife Ann. There
are many great western heroes that Hank looks up to, but no one can take
the place of Hopalong Cassidy.
