Hank in "International Musician", April 1982

[JimN]

Hi Jim,

Thanks for your helpful comments, and I'll try to find a suitable photo (or if you could point me to a photo of Hank with a LP that would be very helpful)...

Paul.

You could try this one (from Getty Images):

Thanks for the lead Jim.

I tried searching the web but couldn't find any. However, we already use an image from Getty (under paid license) and when searching for the one you suggested I came across a nice colored pic that we will use. The license fees are starting to stack up though!

Best Regards,

Paul.

Hi Jim,

Thanks for taking the time to transcribe the article. We have just put up another article on the TVS website (Guitars used by Hank) which show all the guitars mentioned in your article as well as a number of others that he was known to have used in performance at one stage or another. At the moment you have to click through two links to get to it, but we are working on it so that it comes up with just one click from the menu bar. Any comments or additions to this would be welcome.

Regards,

Paul.

So THAT's what happened to the guitar that Fender gave him in 1986 - he still has it!
Great articles - thanks for sharing, Paul - loads of stuff that I didn't know.
So he has used various guitars on the reunited CD - including a Danelectro and Fender Bass VI!

Have seen some b&w footage from the Royal Albert Hall, October 1978, with Hank using the Roland guitar synth on Love DeLuxe and Honourable Puff-Puff.

I shall read this interview at length...
