Folks, you may have noticed that the site is missing a day of posts. We had some severe database issues that took the better part of the day on Monday to fix. The upside is that the site is back and functioning. The downside? We're missing some posts from Monday. We're working hard to make sure this never happens again. Mog is our favorite site, too, and when it's not there we're beside ourselves -- both because we don't know what to spend our time reading while it's g... MORE

Today I visited the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland, Ohio. It was really neat; I probably could have spent the whole day looking/listening. After I heard a snippet of a Hank Williams song at one exhibit, I couldn't wait to go back to Nashville. If you had told me four years ago that someday I would listen to Hank Williams, I would have laughed. If you had told me four years ago that someday I would love Nashville, I would have laughed. Things change. I'm gla... MORE

Another unheard (by me) gem that has popped up on the Proper box set of Hank Williams - Hillbilly Hero. My conversion to a Hank fanatic convinced me to spring for a 5-CD Jimmie Rodgers box set. Another yodeler, but from an earlier period (1927-1933). When I get to that, expect some tracks to show up here. Where else? After scouring YouTube, it appears there are less than a handful of live Hank performance videos. Here they are: From his second performand on The Kate ... MORE

I tried to add this to a comment on Uncle Creepy's mog post, but it would not play. So, I'm going to try to post it myself to see if it plays this way.
By the way, I love the new red button, which shows remaining fraction (though not the time). Could this new red button be part of the problem? Dunno.
Hey, this proves that Hank figured out Joe Stalin 60 years before Pete Seeger finally did. DUH, Pete!

Whatever happened to yodeling? That's the easy, cheap way to describe this vocal trick, sliding into falsetto and back again quickly, with ease. I guess I, like most others, considered this too corny for words in the past but I really love it these days - or, should I say, I love Hank these days. That box set I bought over Thanksgiving is slowly bleeding onto the iPod and it is chock FULL of gems like this. I'm going to include another example in comments, "Lovesick Blue... MORE

After hearing about Hank Williams for years and years, I bought an LP sometime in the late 1970s featuring 18 or so of his greatest hits. It was not a hit with me - I could not adjust to the reedy voice, poor production and spare, stilted instrumentation. I made a cassette of the vinyl - and played it maybe twice. But over the last couple of years I received several Hank tracks on music magazine "free" samplers - and absolutely loved every one of them. So I sprung for a ... MORE

Generally speaking, chart toppers are at the top of the chart because they have that lowest common denominator of taste factor going for them. But moggers aren't anywhere near that lowest common denominator (save the few of us that have guilty pop pleasures here and there). So I've been wondering... what's the most played song by all moggers running mogomatic on their collections? Is there some way to figure that out? Is it on the site and I just can't find it? David,... MORE

I guess Hank was an Ethanol supporter long before Willie ever jumped on the bandwagon. _BioHank!_

Sitting here, still at work, listening to Eminem "Lose Yourself," but just the mention of food stamps is making me HUUUUUNGRY! Now, even Phish "Llama" has me thinking they should barbeque that beast up! So, I'm googling songs about food and find:None of that "Lollipop" stuff! I think my favorite has to be "Jambalaya (On the Bayou)" by Hank Williams just because the particular dishes mentioned are SOOOOOO... MORE
