COUPLE React to Hank Williams Sr - Jambalaya | OB DAVE REACTS 

Violin has strings. Fiddle has strangs

"Fruit jar" is a reference to the glass canning jars people used while drinking moonshine (illegal homemade alcohol).

File' gumbo. File' is a spice made from the ground leaves of the sassafras plant. The root of the same plant is used to make tea.

If you didn't understand the meaning of "pirogue" (PEE-row), it's a dugout canoe used in Central and South America, the Caribbean, and Lousiana, in this case. They stood in them and used a pole to push the pirogue along the bayou, or swamp, or wherever the water was shallow enough. They can also be paddled. Hank Williams, Sr., was saying "me gotta go pole pirogue down the bayou", in Lousiana. Thanks for a great reaction! God bless you!

Guys, that line you were struggling with. Right after he says kinfolks come to see Yvonne by the dozens, he mentions 2 of the family names Thibedouxs and Fontenots. Pronounced tibados and fontenos. Oh and crawfish, crawdads and crayfish are all the same animal. Just depends on what part of the country you are from. Fiddle and violin are the same instrument. Typically violins are played in classical and orchestral pieces, and fiddle is what is played in folk, country,bluegrass and even certain ethnic folk music, Irish for example. I am going to leave you guys 2 links (hope you can use them??) first a brilliant female singer/songwriter named Nanci Griffith singing Nightriders Lament and joined by Don Edwards doing the yodeling. The 2nd is a family bluegrass and Gospel band named The Petersens doing a cover of "I wanna be a cowboys sweetheart which also includes yodeling. Hope you enjoy!! Nanci is sadly no longer with us, but was a folky, country kind of blend. The Petersens do a number of different kinds of songs but mostly all in the form of bluegrass. They do covers and original songs as well. 1) Nanci and Don - Nightriders Lament - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mS15kF-58-Q.html 2) Petersens Band - Cowboys Sweetheart - ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QVttaEpsBmc.html

He's one of the foundational pillars of country music. Part of my family is from his neck of the woods and this isn't just music it's culture. Far as I know crawdad and crawfish are the same, at least where I live. Thibodaux + Fontaineaux at least at that time were common cajun last names in the Louisiana bayou. Honky Tonk Blues and Ramblin' Man are my two favs of HWS.

“The Thibidaults, the Fontenots, the place is buzzing” refers to two families that attended the cookout

Louisianan here. Crawfish and crawdad are the same thing. We also call them mudbugs. Fontenot and Thibodeaux are very popular last names. Pirgoue is a manned boat that is carved out of wood. Filé is made from the sassafras trees and added to gumbo as a thickener. The difference between a fiddle and a violin is they are held differently. A fiddle is held lower than a tradtional violin. The Louisiana pronunciation is bye-you and jum-ba-laya.

I listen to all kinds of music but sometimes you just need some Hank!

In Hanks 29 years he made music that resonates throughout the solar system. Nobody can ever be as poetic as he was and still is today so dig deep and also check out Luke the drifter .

Leonard Cohen, one of the greatest songwriters ever, wrote this about Hank Williams in one of his songs. "I asked Hank Williams how lonely does it get. Hank Williams hasn't answered yet, but I can hear him coughing all night long…a 100 floors above me in The Tower of Song." A hundred floors above me. Cohen paying tribute to one of his idols.

If you want yodeling, check out Hank Sr "Lovesick Blues", great to sing along to in the car.

Love Hank Senior. This is classic music. My grandfather used to play this all the time 🙏

Wanna hear yodeling give Jimmy Rodgers a listen. He was called the singing brakeman whose career was in the late 20s and early 30s. He died young also from tb

Hank Williams started out singing with the Drifters, som will break your heart 😂.

When they mention fruit jar they are talking about moonshine.

Born and raised in Louisiana. If you guys have never been, it’s like another country. French culture everywhere. Nobody in Louisiana says crawdad. They have their own crazy laws and rules. Truly no place like it.

Hank Sr died January 1st 1953 at 29

Hank, Sr. was a little earlier than you estimated. He released one of his biggest hits, "I'm So Lonesome I Could Cry", in 1949. He passed away from health problems exasperated by drugs and alcohol abuse at the ripe old page of 29. He was a giant of the music world back then A violin and a fiddle are exactly the same instrument. The difference is in the music that comes out of it

The song I sang to my baby girl when she wouldn't go to sleep was Hank Williams song Hey, good lookin'. Changed the words a little bit depending on the car I had.

Fiddle has steel strings in country music 🤔 Violin has organic strings in classical music 🤔 Strings Resonate different.. Great Reaction 👏👏✌️🤠🍻

Great reaction guys, I'd recommend listening to "so lonesome I could cry"by him next.

Tippedoes and Fontenots. Family surnames. He means a crowd is gathering and the place is buzzing.

Hank Williams Sr was one of the more prolific hit song writers ever. His lyrics were incredible, not matter the subject matter of his songs. There's a good reason Hank Sr was known as "The Hillbilly Shakespeare."

This is probably my favorite Hank Williams song. Another great one is "Why Don't You Love Me".

👍👍Old school country classic!! 🖖❤

Long Gone Lonesome Blues for some Hank Sr yodel.

Hank Sr. had what is known as a blue yodel.

Thibodeaux Fontenot (family surnames)

dad and mom loved dancing to this one

There's no difference between a fiddle and a violin except the context it's found in. They are exactly the same.

Y'all will like "Move It On Over" and "Hey Good Lookin'", also by Hank Sr.

Crawdad and crayfish are the same as is violin and fiddle car and auto, great reaction

Crawfish, crawdads, crayfish, and mudbugs are a few of the names they are called around the country!

A fiddle is bigger than a violin---nearly the size of a viola. A fiddle has steel strings, as opposed to a violin's catgut, or other synthetic, strings. A fiddle has a flat bridge, so one can play straight across; thus, playing more than one note, at a time. A violin has a bowed bridge---one plays up, and over. Other than that, the difference is in the way a fiddle is played: Aside from the straight-across bowing, the fiddle is played in front of the shoulder, whereas a violin is played, up, on the shoulder. Love you guys!!!

If your in a tux it's a violin. If your in jeans it's a fiddle.

Hank III is Hank Williams, Sr. reincarnated. He looks like him, sound like him, acts like him and is wild as ish just like he was. A violin and fiddle are the same instrument. It's all in how you play it that makes the difference. Classical music employs the violin. Irish pub music, country music and cajun music employs the fiddle. Proper folks play the violin. Miscreants that like good music, whiskey and beer play the fiddle.

Thank you so much

Hank is a - perhaps the - country OG. Once you get a feel for his place in country music, listen to "The Ride", by David Allan Coe.

A lot of the words in the song are from Louisiana where they speak a language a that is a Patois, a French mixed with other languages and it's called French Creole. I used to work with an old guy from Louisiana named Sammy Lafitte, like the French pirate Jean Lafitte. He was born in the US but English was his second language. He'd always say, dats fo true, you betta know it! He was a great guy!

You should listen to Hank Sr.'s 1: I'm so lonesome I could cry 2: cold cold heart 3: Hey! Good looking. 4:your cheating heart. 5: I saw the light.✌️❤️🙏🙏

Love Hank

Yes please listen to "Long Gone Lonesome Blues" and "Lovesick Blues" for Hank Sr yodeling!

Anotherone i havent seen anyone point out yet is Ma cher amio which is "My good friend" or people use it loosely as my love or things of that nature. The cajuns were a french speaking people for a long time, and a lot still speak a broken dialect of the old cajun french

Thibodeaux and Fontenot are common Cajun names and that’s who he says are the kinfolk who are coming to see Yvonne

Yes, they're the same thing, and up here in the northern lakes country of Minnesota we call them cray-fish.

A fiddle is a violin. It's just the terminology used in the context of country and bluegrass. Though one could say "fiddling" is a distinct style of playing on the voilin.

The "dive bar" your referring to is known as a "Honkytonk" but in contrast to a dive bar, drinks are flowing, food is a cookin, and people are having a good time, in other words a party!

People from Louisiana are called Cajuns mostly descended from French families.

It's freaking cool that you know of Hank lll. You should check out Hank lll's son IV and the Strange Band. Great reaction from you both

oh yeah, this is definitely a drinkin' song !!

want me to break it down for you? This was my fathers favorite Song by Hank Williams. The Tibbedeux and the Fontineux where Clans in Louisiana in the 20s. Think the Hatfield and Clampets

Yes, crawfish and crawdad are the same. Just a regional difference in terms. In East Texas/Louisiana, we say crawfish. But as a kid in the Ozarks, folks would say crawdad exclusively.

a crayfish is also called a 'mudbug' 😁 He's saying Fontaineaux

Crawdad is a lobster after taxes

I can only, best I can describe...say: Crawfish is an industry and crawdads are what kids catch under rocks.

I lost my mom to cancer and this song really hits home to me and my sisters. Can you please give it a listen? I Dreamed About Mama Last Night. Hank Williams Sr.

nobody cries when you spill beer on a fiddle

Great song. One of my favorite Hank song is Little paper Boy.

Crawfish crawdad mud bug. Same same

Here in Louisiana we call crawfish mudbugs

If y’all enjoy yodeling check out lovesick blues by Hank sr

Thanks to Dave not trying that cord in his throat.. I wouldn´t either.. I had some great parties.. cooking chillistew and listening to Hankl Willams.. senior..

A vilon has strings where as a fiddle has "strangs" I've been told

This is good two-stepping music! The Thibedeux and the Fonteneaux are family names!

Terrific rhythm and beat. That's Chet Atkins on the electric guitar with alternating bass with the E A and D strings. Yodeling? Listen to Jimmie Rogers and Slim Whitman.

Funny he referred to Irish talk. The whole style is Irish folk music brought to America!

My mom used to sing part of this as a Haha to us kids. We'd laugh. Hank Sr had spina bifida. He showed no outward signs he had it on his back. He drank and took meds to help with the pain.

Hank Williams Sr. was pure, straight laced old time country. Maybe Hank Williams Jr. could be considered outlaw country. Hank Williams Sr. was probably the biggest country star ever.

The difference between a violin and a fiddle is the way it's played lol that's

I have always heard a violin has "strings' and a fiddle has "strAngs" lol

Great stuff. Hank Williams is a legend. I think you'd really like Hank, Jr., who has had a long and successful career. A popular one of his to check out and react to would be "A Country Boy Can Survive". That being said, he has a ton of great stuff over the years.

MOANING THE BLUES has what some people call yodeling. But it is really more riffs than yodeling Yodeling is something more.

Fiddle and violin are the same instrument. Just in the way it's played. Playing country music, it would be referred to by country music lovers as the "Fiddle". All other music, the "Violin".

Violin sings, fiddle dances!

Crawfish and Crawdad are the same species. They look more like a small lobster. There is plenty of great Hank Sr music out there. I have loved Hank Sr before his passing. Hank Jr started signing his daddy's song and didn't like it. When Hank Jr switched to his music, I loved it to. Some of that music referenced his father. Family Tradition. A funny story is my daughter would get pissed at us and would storm off and crank Janis Joplin. The funny part she was playing my albums, so it didn't bother me.

He's speaking some Cajun language

the Thibedeaux, the Fontenot’s…..famous Cajun families

The bridges, the parts that hold the strings up off the body of the violin and fiddle may be different heights. Making the sounds slightly different. It's really about the setup a player prefers.

In 1755, the French were expelled from Canada. They then migrated south to Louisiana. The legend of the crayfish was said to come about because the French brought with them the lobster. It lost so much weight during the journey that it became the crayfish😅

A violin is just a fiddle only played by different hands

Crawdad to me, same tasty treat at the end if a hard day with some friends and a cold drink of your choice, and the state of Louisiana was french.

It is a crawdad but it is soft you catch him on a full moon in the summertime😅😅😅😅

Violin has gut strings , the fiddle has steel strings

Mud bugs are great. They look like tiny lobsters but the flavor is more intense, especially when you suck the head.

Fill fruit jar ( with moonshine, white lightning ).

Hank died January 1st, 1953 the year I was born. I've saw Sr. & the 3rd but it just wasn't Hank. You have to listen to David Allen Coe's The Ride about Hank. Thank you & enjoy. Jim

Singing along with Hank this is the music I love. I’m 59 female old country is the only country worth listening to my opinion and only what I want to click on along with Tom Macdonald

Hank Sr is/was pure country not outlaw country. You can't get more or purer than Hank Sr. The song is performed in the Cajun style of music. Cajuns were the Acadian French the Brits ran out of Canada and they ended up in the general area of Louisiana. The name got shortened to 'Cajun. The Music is very much French influenced and French is still spoken in many rural parts of Louisiana. Here is a sample of the real Cajun music and also show the type of dancing that goes on to that music: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HSERW72sSOQ.html Another type of Music from this area is called Zydeco and it is the French, Cajun influenced music of the Black population of Southwest Louisiana. It is a much faster music and dance to the Cajun: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-5hVaoP-Em2A.html

Thibodeaux and Fontenot are Cajun French Surnames.

Louisiana Creoles are a Louisiana French ethnic. Yeah he’s throwing a little criollo in the song. Fidel and the violin are basically the same

Great song, diabolical video to watch.

My cher au mi-oh translates to my good friend.

Three shades of black- Hank III (Vogue Paris), is my favorite from Hank III

Thibodaux to Fountineaux. the place is buzzing

There’s no difference between a violin and a fiddle they’re the same instrument

My mom used to sing this a lot. She passed away in 2019.

A fiddle is 7/8 the size of a violin

craw fish craw dad and mud bug is all the same critter / the violin and fiddle are the same instrument its referred to fiddle for folk music and violin is classical

It’s French - from Tippideaux to Fontineaux, or thereabouts
