By T.J. MeekinsSpecial To Prospector(Editor’s Note: Meekins and Thomas Greener will present “Ragged But Right: The Louisiana Hayride Edition” this Saturday, Feb. 16 1 p.m. to 4 p.m. on KVMR 89.5 FM, kvmr.org streaming.) I’d been wanting to write a show about Hank Williams, and started re-researching his life, (because lately so much has been added to his story that couldn’t be told in 1953). The Louisiana Hayride was the number two Country Music show in the USA in the 1950s, second only to, yes, the Grand Ole Opry. Transmitted live from the huge Shreveport Auditorium that could hold 3,800 fans, the Louisiana Hayride show was a home base on Saturday nights for a vast array of Country Music celebrities. And there were giants among them: Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, The Maddox Brothers and Rose, Webb Pierce, and Slim Whitman all lent their musical gifts to the show.
