Hanks Last Show

The song is about the last show Hank Williams did. It was at the Skyline Club in Austin, dec. 19th 1952. Hank Williams real name was Hiram King Williams. The name comes from King Hiram of Tyre who was one of the sponsors that helped building the original temple in Jerusalem.
Hank lived a difficult life at this time. He got fired from Grand Ole Opry and moved home to his mother. With him he brought his soon to be wife and his pregnant girlfriend. At the same time, he had to call his ex-wife to arrange for the divorce that wasn't finalized. Some reports say that he was actually not divorced when he got married the second time.
His pregnant girlfriend gave birth to a daughter 5 days after Hank died.
