Hank III Starts New Tradition of Charity
Hank Williams III is known best for keeping the family traditions alive while forging new ones with his rebel ways. In what has become a tradition over the last few Hank III tours, one of the tour’s whistle stops will be for charity. The benefactor this time will be Happy Tails Humane, a charity Hank III has helped out before. Hank has also lent a hand to Homes For Our Troops a few times with charity concerts.
The concert goes down September 18th at The Loveless Barn in Nashville, with a charity motorcycle ride before the concert. Hank III has been an animal advocate for years, helping to find homes for stray dogs and cats, even pulling over his tour bus to check on loose animals. “Animals have been a real inspiration in my life, and helped me through some hard times.”
Here’s the particulars:
“Ride Happy is benefit for Happy Tales Humane! A no kill animal shelter in Franklin TN. Here’s what it’s all about: A scenic motorcycle ride through the beautiful countryside of middle Tennessee. Riders can register at Harley Davidson Cool Springs in Franklin from noon to 2:00 PM on the day of the ride. Destination is the one and only The Loveless Barn in Nashville. Best of all, Hank III will end the day of music with a concert at 6:00 PM. Tickets for the ride and concert are $40 per rider or $50 for a rider and passenger. Also available are concert only tickets for just $20.00.
“Join us on September 18, 2010 for a fun-filled day of Rock, Rides and Refreshments. VIP tickets will include a private meet and greet with Hank III.

To reserve your tickets today, call 615-791-0827 during our normal business hours; Tuesday through Friday 12PM-5PM and Saturdays from 11AM-4PM.”

Glad to read this! Wow i do all i can myself. We have 2 foster cats right now looking for a home! If more people did this it would soon not be such a HUGE problem. Everybody should take III’s lead and just go volunteer at a shelter for a day. Putting a homeless dog in your back yard to help find its home is so rewarding! Take my word. You will feel great inside!

Hardees for Breakfast. Never been to Carls Jr.
Found a new group & album on amazon today Triggerman. Has potintial for album of the year. The Carter Family III – Past & Present. The first song on the album Maybelle’s Guitar has the line “The music’s dead and cold down on music row. Bill’s mandolin is silent, Mother Maybelle’s guitar’s been sold. They traded music soul for a pocket full of gold but the hearts still beating down at the carter fold.

Ga. Outlaw,
I’ve heard of them. Never heard their music. Got it on this list to check out. So much music, so little time.

I know exactly what Shelton means. Animals can bring so much joy and comfort. Hardee’s has a great milkshake, Triggerman.
When you give freely and openly to help others and such, well, it just sets something free in your soul.

Nice job Shelton… I loved Hardees when I was a kid living in the midwest. As an adult living in the northwest, I don’t care for Carl’s Jr… But I sure miss Hardees’ chicken strips circa 1988!

I do my share to euthanize strays whenever I can. It is also good pre- deer season practice.

Very very very cool! I volunteer at the SPCA in Auckland and might suggest to the publicity manager staging something like this. A wonderful way to raise money and awareness. Way to go Shelton!

Yes, and I am going to this show, I will fly to Atlanta September 17th, and a friend is so kind to give me a ride to Nashville so that I can go to the Happy Tales show, I’ll meet a lot of friends and I can’t wait to meet a lot of friends finally and attend a Hank III show again. I couldn’t go sooner, so it is gonna be one Hank III show, it’s gonna be the last show of his East Coast tour, but I’ll be doing and seeing lots of other things that has been on my wish list for years, so I am as happy as can be that I’ll finally got the chance now.
