A Note of Support from the Hank Williams Museum - Beth J. Birtley
Dear SaveNetRadio Organizers,
I
am the curator of The Hank Williams Museum in Montgomery Alabama. We
have been open for eight years showcasing memorabilia and artifacts of
Hank Williams and what he has meant to Montgomery and Country Music. I
have a close working relationship with Hank's family, as well as fans
from around the world.
January 1, 2007, 54 years after his
untimely death, Hank Williams is still recognized not only in his
hometown of Montgomery, but throughout the world. He lived and felt the
material he wrote and left a testimonial of his life in the songs he
created. Hank was a young man with talent beyond reach who gave the
world more hit songs than any other country music star. His passion for
music led him to become not only a musical genius, but his rare talent
would go on to become an international legend and a cornerstone in the
world of music.
The Hank Williams Memorial Foundation Montgomery
was established to promote and protect the memory of this great
songwriter and entertainer. The purpose is to keep his music in the
hearts of country music fans worldwide.
In keeping Hank
Williams' music and vast influence alive, we wholeheartedly support
Internet Radio for its contribution to the music industry. One needs to
understand the importance of Internet Radio. It is one of the most
effective avenues we have for out-reach to the younger generation. It
allows them to learn an important part of music and cultural history
while at the same time allowing others the opportunity to recapture
memories.
Best Regards,
Beth J. Birtley, Manager Hank Williams Museum 118 Commerce Street Montgomery, AL 36104
