A Fool Such As I - Hank Snow

The early Hank Snow version of this song (Words and Music by Bill Trader)covered by many singers since. Sounds as good today as it did then.

Whilst I respect the right of any person to express an opinion (favourable or otherwise); any comments which contain foul language, insults or profanities will be removed and the writer blocked from posting again. If all others on YouTube followed this practice certain trouble makers would hopefully soon disappear.

30th Aug 2011. For about a month I failed to notice a disgusting reply to another poster on here. Uploaders aren't notified of replies to other people. May I ask if any of the vast majority of decent people who use YouTube receive or notice a reply that needs attention, on any upload on this channel, they message me so action can be taken.

@oldermusiclover You're welcome - there has been a lot of interest shown about Chubby Wise on this upload so you and other Chubby Wise fans might care to see and hear him playing his classic, by YouTube searching:

Mac Wiseman & Chubby Wise-Orange Blossom Special

Well worth a listen!

[oldermusiclover]

thank you. was he with Hank for most of the years he recorded or was there someone else?

[DelTangBrav]

@oldermusiclover In 1954, Chubby Wise became a member of Hank Snow's Rainbow Ranch Boys, he remained with the group until 1970. Alongside this he worked as a session musician with Mac Wiseman and Red Allen, among others. Prior to 1954 and after 1970 there were other fiddle players who backed Hank, possibly some others in that 1954-70 time period too.

[oldermusiclover]

who was Hanks fiddle player?

[DelTangBrav]

@oldermusiclover  The fiddle player is Chubby Wise.

6 people think that Hank Snow stole this song for elvis.

@2ndfret You asked "What does the lady contribute?" without any disrespect to Hank - (I feel sure he'd have agreed)... she is much prettier. ;-)

Incidentally that lady is the step daughter of another famous country singing Hank... "Williams"

Hank's music is the "ring" on my friends phone. He is one of the best, just not in the middle of my backswing. But I love his music.

@TheDJGrandPa Indeed. You must be also thinking that's air you're breathing. It's time you take the red pill, Neo.

@oetlul I guess Wanda Jackson, Brenda Lee, Conne Francies and so on are just things I've created in my mind.

@DelTangBrav its the 50s. Ladies just listened and were decorative back than.
