Son of a Gun

I came here to post a video of Hank Williams Jr. doing his daddy's tune--which you now know how to play. But in my search I stumbled onto this adorable kiddo. (his squeezebox even has a crawfish on it!? Shut the front door!)
If this doesn't make you smile, you have a heart of stone.
Hunter's foot-tapping is excellent, by the way. Take note!


At any rate, here's the video I meant to post. Hank Williams Jr. was groomed from birth to follow in his father's footsteps--perhaps not the best idea, since Hank Sr. died at 29 from hard livin'. Junior eventually rebelled against being pigeon-holed as a knock-off of his father and developed his own blues- and country-infused southern rock musical style (along with his signature beard, seen in that first clip).
