I'm old enough to have grown up in a time when Hank Williams was still on the jukebox all over New Orleans where I lived.
Back in those days you heard all the new rock & roll and country music on the jukebox because music radio was mostly playing "hit parade" music by artists like Patti Page, Connie Francis, Dean Martin, Perry Como and Dinah Shore. It wasn't until the early Sixties that Top Forty radio began playing rock and country music. I was a preschooler back then, but I remember both Fats Domino and Hank Williams from my jukebox days and grew up loving them both.
