The Funeral - Hank williams (Luke The Drifter)

In 1950, Hank began recording as "Luke the Drifter" for his moral-themed songs, many of which are recitations rather than singing. Fred Rose had been concerned how it would affect the jukebox operators who serviced the machines at the honky-tonks where William's songs were most commonly played if a customer punched a "Hank Williams" selection on a jukebox and heard a sermon rather than the music expected. It was Rose who requested that Hank use a pseudonym for these recitations to avoid leading people astray.
