New Reinstate Hank PSA – Spread the Word
The talented Texas Singer-Songwriter Brigitte London has been doing a new podcast for outlawmagazine.com, and asked me recently if I could do a PSA for the movement to get Hank Williams reinstated into the Grand Ole Opry, or Reinstate Hank.
Of course I was easily cajoled into doing so, but as I was putting it together I thought why just put this on one podcast? It should be on many podcasts. And why just limit it to podcasts? Aren’t there still some independent radio stations left out there with real living humans spinning tunes, and wouldn’t their listeners be shocked to find out that Hank Williams isn’t a member of the Grand Ole Opry?
So I’m trying to spread this little piece of audio out like a bad rash, but you can help as well. Copy it to your own computer, and send it to your favorite country radio station, or your favorite podcast, whatever. Let’s get this thing spread far and wide. And if you can’t figure out how to get it off the site, email me through MySpace or Twitter and I’ll send it to you directly.

Thanks everyone! Glad you caught that Carla, that wasn’t by accident. Cathy’s Reinstate Hank Bandwagon had a blog a while back that talked about you can take some of Hank’s songs that are supposed to be about women, but if you think about it, can work with the way the Opry treated him as well.
