When Hank’ Williams
ed on to the stage at
Nashville’s Grand Old Opry
in June, 1949, and sang
Lovesick Blues, the crowd
went wild. At the age of 25,
Hank Williams had hit the
top. Three years and eleven
gold records latér, Hank
Williams was a broken man.
He was found dead, at the
age of 29, on New Year's
Day, 1953, a victim of drugs
and booze and fame.

Hank Willilams lives on in
1981 through Sneezy Waters
in Hank Williams: The Show
He Never Gave, at the
Vancouver East Cultural
Centre in October.

Both Sneezy Waters fans
and Hank Williams fans who
missed the show when it was
in Vancouver im 1979 for
four nights only will get a
chance to see the play.

Hank Williams: The Show
He Never Gave is an unusual
combination of concert and
theatre, brought to life by

Sneezy Waters’ uncanny
physical and vocal resem-
blance to the country music
king. The play was written
by Maynard Collins, and it’s
come a long’ way since. its
first performance in Ottawa
in 1977.

During a Canadian tour in
1978-79, the show played to
full houses all’ across the
country, and the show
toured the United States in
1980. A CBC radio
production .of Hank
Williams: The -Show He
Never Gave, recently won
the coveted Prix Monaco, an
international radio award. A
film production of the show
is in the final stages of post-
production, and will be
released early in 1982. But
now, folks in and around
Vancouver have a chance to
see the original stage ver-
sion. The songs of Hank
Williams (Your Cheatin’
Heart, Jambalaya, Hey
Good Looking’, I Saw The

Villiams never gave

Light) assure him im-
mortality, but it is this show
that assures the imortality of
his tragic story.

It is Sneezy Waters, whose
real name is Peter Hodgson,
who answers the pivotal
question - what kind of show
would Hank Williams have
given New Year’s Eve, 1952,
the night before he died?

Sneezy Waters was long a
fine performer in his own
right before the role of Hank
Williams brought him to the
attention of millions. Waters
already had plenty of Hank
Williams tunes in his
repertoire when writer
Collins approached him
about the role of Hank
Williams.

Playing the role, Sneezy
Waters gives a concert in a
bar decorated for New
Year’s Eve. He’s backed by
his band, The Drifting
Cowboys (played by George
Essery on steel guitar, Keith
Glass on lead guitar, David
