Picture of the Hank Snow museum in Liverpool, Nova Scotia.
It is located in the old train station near where he grew up.
The statue of Hank sitting on a stool with his guitar was added a couple of years ago.
For fans of this country artist it is an interesting spot to visit with many exhibits from his
time as a country singer. Many items were donated by his wife after Hank died.

Thanks for your replies rkunsaw and Pappy.
Hank had a very hard early life with a mean stepfather and sometimes would stay
in the train station to avoid being around him.

He struggled to make it in the music business but finally found success.
He was a very modest man and wanted to make a living but did not crave the celebrity
status that many entertainers seem to need.
 
Thank you Meanderer, it was good to hear that song again.

I really liked I Don't Hurt Anymore too Pappy.

Yes Jim, he was one of the good guys and he was appreciated and admired for his music
in his home province as well as all over North America.
 
There wasn't a dry eye in any of the Grand ole Opry crew when Hank moved on. I saw him perform once in San Diego. He was, and will be remembered as a real icon in the country music field.
 
Thank you for the song Meanderer.
Hank had a distinctive voice. When played on the radio he couldn't be
mistaken for anyone else.

That was a very interesting article for me. We visited Nashville three times some years
ago and once took a bus trip to view homes of the stars, but never saw Hank's home.
Thanks again Meanderer.
 
OMG, my Dad and I played Hank Snow songs when we would get my Uncle with us and jam. We played a lot of old Country and Bluegrass, which was my Dad's favorite kind of music, especially Bluegrass.
 
Not to get off topic, but these "name"songs remind me of "Forty Shades of Green", written by John Cash. He was visiting Ireland and while looking at the names on a map, came up with the idea. All of the names but one can be found on the map. "Shalimar" is the name of his Wife June's favorite perfume.
