NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- It's no shock that the Country Music Hall of
Fame and Museum got a tepid response from Hank Williams Jr. on its
plans for an exhibit on his family, from his iconic and troubled
father through his own hell-raising days to his children's lives.
The museum wanted Williams, a private man, to open his vault of
family keepsakes. Needless to say, their first meeting didn't go
well.
"I asked him then, 'Are you going to make me beg? Can I have some
of these things?"' recalled Carolyn Tate, vice president of museum
services. "He can non-answer you with the best in the business. He
just went, 'Hmmm.' So for three years we've been courting him."
