THE BLACKBOARD Of MY HEART by HANK THOMPSON

The Blackboard Of My Heart by Hank Thompson
1956. Written by Lyle Gaston and Hank Thompson

Hank Thompson

"There should be music in all our lives. It would take away much of the grimness and sorrow, and to those of us who have been gifted with that greatest of all gifts, the singing voice, comes the great duty of giving what joy our voices may bring to those less fortunate."

Here's the thing! I just heard this sone for the first time in my life, had it not been for youtube and people like you for uploading this one and others, I and others would never get to hear them. Yet certain record companies complain about us uploading songs that would otherwise never be heard, least purchased. What do they think they have to lose I wonder. If there's a crime being committed, it's by the record companies that deny us hearing music from our past.

My uncle was probably Hanks biggest fan, from the mid '50s. He had a guitar like the one Hank is holding in this picture, a Gibson super 400. He even had his name in the fretboard. Wish I knew what happened to it. I was always told the Hank and Merl Travis and my uncle had the only ones just like these.

My dad died in 2010. It was a favorite. I was born in 1956 and we sang it even to his last days -together. He loved it and I loved being a part of that

I was a twenty year old immigrant in the Marines in Parris Island. This and Crystal Chandeleirs were the top on WWVA Wheeling West Virginia. The songs are still with me todat--59+ years later

@zulia2003

in 1967, a friend shared this song with me....It's odd to find this posting after all these years

@83lannie, There are more country songs that sound alike than there are patties in cowpasture.

Listen to I've got five dollars and it's saturday night by Faron Young and It's been so long by Webb Pierce.
