I was listening to an old cassette my dad had made of some Hank Williams recordings and heard what sounded like Hank talking on a radio show plugging a book he had written or co-written to help aspiring song writers. Does any one out there know anything about such a book? Can’t find anything on Google. Thanks ---

I saw an excellent documentary about Hank Williams on Netflix. Believe it or not, a great deal of his songwriting inspiration came from comic books. Especially romance comics.
