i've been a hank snow fan for more years than i care to remember and have a large collection of this great country and western superstars music,for which i've enjoyed endless hours of pleasure.
Have always loved Hank Snow's music.
I met Hank Snow in Karlshrue, Germany when I was 3 years old. I have never forgotten it. My Dad was active duty Army at the time.
I remember my mother listening to the radio (we didn't have tv then) and whenever Hank Snow (and Wilf Carter!) began to sing, the house became silent, and she listened (and sometimes sang) - like there was no one else in the world - she loved his songs and I would say that he was her singing idol!
I am 9quite a bit) older now, retired, and sing a bit at the jam sessions, and I have come to love many of his songs too!
No one will ever be able to sing like Hank Snow again in our lifetime - God gave us all a great singer'composer - and his music will live forever!
Way to go! Keep this site going! Brenda
I took my Mom to see Hank Snow in 1989. She had seen him quite a few times in concert, but I hadn't. It was his last tour into Canada. I really enjoyed that show.
I grew up listening to his songs being played first on 78's then on LP's. And of course, Mom singing them to me.
I have most all his spngs, and I also live with the memories of Mom singing to me. Both are very precious memories of mine.
Wonderful site for a truly GREAT SINGER! His music will never perish.
MY MESSAGE IS SIMPLE, KEEP THE MUSIC ALIVE AND KEEP HANKS SPIRIT GOING. I AM FROM HOLLAND, I AM 67 NOW AND I KNEW HANK WHEN I WAS 12 YEARS OLD. THROUGH RADIO AND RECORDS

Hi David, Thank you for signing our guestbook. Hanks music was great for sure. That was all that played in my household on the turntable or 8 track machine.
I recognize the Thorburne name (same as my son)who I believe is a relative of yours, Claude & Thelma are his grandparents.

Being born and raised in Liverpool Nova Scotia, I attended school in Liverpool. I can remember Hank Snow with his horse entertaining us school kids after school prior to his program that evening in the local ball park. Jimmy Snow also was a student, however, I remember very little about Jimmy other than us kids thought he was special being the son of Hank Snow.
Hank Snow's memory will always be with me.
I still play his music whenever I get the chance. Hank's name will live on.
I have always enjoyed Hank's singing, and we lived in Newfoundland Canada for nine years on 3 different tours while I was in the US Air Force. That is when we heard his "Squid Jiggin' Ground" song, a typical Newfoundland Folk Song, we loved that, have a Newfoundland Music CD with that on it.
Also especially enjoy "I've Been Everywhere", besides all his other good songs. what a great entertainer, Thanks Hank, Carson Harris and Family.
I really had the experience of a lifetime and felt very honoured to hear Hank perform at the Rebecca Cohn in Halifax. He played there several times and I'm so happy to have been witness to his contribution to the Best country music ever!
Thanks Hank!
My wife and I remember seeing Hank and his wife in a small outdoor mull store close to where we live. And they were checking out,I remember they had a mop&pale,I was so surprised I cuold't even say hello. We always loved him and his songs.
Such an insperation to read about hank's carreer. I have enjoyed his music all of my life.

Blue Rodeo
The Hank Snow Song
There's a man a legend I know
A poet and writer of songs
Born in brooklyn Nova Scotia
A true blue Canadian boy
He sang of love's lost hiways
His big hit was called "Movin On"
It's Hank Snow the Singin Ranger
Liverpool's own pride and joy
Chorus:
Now there must be a place up in heaven
Where the sidewalks are all paved with gold
Boxcars and old silver engine
Where pickers and gone cowboys go
Where there's rhinestones and a stage like the Opry
And the Northern Lights lite up the show
Just to see Hank sing in God's choir
In a star studded blue rodeo
Verse;
Now Hank and his Rainbow Ranch Boys
Picked his flat-top like nobody could
He captured the heart of the American Dream
And yes sir he's been everywhere
Now each time I sing and play my guitar
And delightfully so for the crowd
I'll belt out "My Old Nova Scotia Home"
And somehow I can see Hank standin beside me pickin and a grinnin just playing along

In the early 1940s, probably 1941, my future wife and I saw Hank Snow, 'The Yodeling Ranger' at Enterprise Hall in Barrington, Nova Scotia. He wasn't so well-known then. The tickets cost twenty-five cents. I don't think he had recorded his famous I'm Movin' On at that time. Later, in Korea in 1950/51, the Armed Forces Network played that song everyday at noon.
In 1991 or 1992 I sent a letter to Hank asking if I could meet with him when I came to Nashville. He sent a letter back to me explaining how to go about meeting him at the Grand Ole Opry. When we got to the Grand Ole Opry, for some reason we did not get to meet him. When I got back to California I wrote him a letter expressing my disapointment. Several days later Hank called me at my office and apoligized.
My wife Christine and I visited the centre a few years back and we really enjoyed what we saw. I grew up listening to Hank Snow, Jimmy Rogers and the like, What a wonderful time in our lives listening to these great people and their wonderful voices.
THANK YOU HANK, YOU ARE ALWAYS IN MY HEART, I'LL LOVE YOU TILL THE DAY I DIE
When I was a young boy we bought our first record player, and had one Hank Snow LP that we played over and over again. We got hours of enjoyment from this LP, and we learned the words to every song. I still enjoy listening to his songs that get played regularly on Galaxie Country Classics. I recently heard him sing "Till The End Of Time", and would like to get the words if anyone has them.
Hank is still a staple in many " Nova
Scotia homes".
