"Marty Stuart acquires 350 pieces of Hank Williams memorabilia"
Through his friendship with the country icon's sister,
Irene Williams Smith, to whom Marty dedicates the Nashville exhibit.
They met in 1993 when she invited Marty to her Dallas home
to look at Hank's belongings. "It wasn't just the same old
stuff you'd see," he says. "This was family items, treasures
of the family that nobody had ever seen, that had been protected
since the day he died. And I knew I was in the presence of
something really special."
Quote: "The things that I want to share with you are all
I have left of my life with my family. You must understand
that my brother is not Hank Williams - not to me.
His name is Hiram; my mother’s name Lillian.
I feel safe inviting you to our family dinner table.
However, you must approach it with respect.
Under those terms you are welcome."
--Irene Williams Smith, sister of Hank Williams,
speaking to Marty Stuart in her home,
just prior to showing Marty the clothing, letters,
legal documents, hand written songs that made
her brother a legend, and many other items handed
down to her after the death of her mother.
