I always look forward to the AMAs! 😊 Thank you for another great AMA and thank you for answering my question. I want you to answer my questions however you interpret them. That’s what makes the AMAs so interesting. There was no right or wrong way to answer it. And no, you didn’t butcher my username, Hank. 😂 it’s just a username. 😊 but thank you for giving it a go. I’d probably pronounce it the same way like you if it was my actual name 😆😉 I must say, I’m really happy you like tomatoes and broccoli. But in the same time I’m a little shocked to hear that you eat veggies. (Even though tomatoes are botanically considered fruits 😆) this is good news since I was on the fence about you not liking cheese, so I guess I can stay subscribed now that I know you like tomatoes and broccoli. 🤣 I’m obviously joking with you. You do you. 😁 Your definition of “keeping it classy” was really nice. I appreciate when a person is honest and unapologetically their true authentic self. And I always love that you say “Be good to yourself and others, it’s important.” because it is important. I’ll just refer to Tim McGraw: “always stay humble and kind” 😊 This AMA was just magical because of the sounds of nature in the background 😍 If I’m honest, I was captivated by the sound of birdsong. I had to rewind a couple of times so I could focus on what you were saying. 😂 I feel we got very spoiled this AMA. 🥰

2023-07-29 20:38:07 +0000 UTCGet away from me, tomato-scorning woman! 😂😂 Just kidding … 🤭 Well, we have a total of 22 8 Track Session episodes so far, covering 24 songs because there have been 2 double episodes. Of those 24 songs, 7 are from the country album … 😉🤓 So, it must be either a different title or we haven’t heard it yet.

2023-07-29 19:45:45 +0000 UTCI don't see "They Can't Say Nothing" either but I've got 4-6 possible ones. I'm thinking: My Old Friend Honkytonks and Me There's Nobody Here/I'm Still Hurtin' Baby You Own My Heart Standing In the Rain The Weight of the World ...but I don't like tomatoes so take everything as sus! ;P

2023-07-29 18:46:16 +0000 UTCThis was a great round of both questions and answers. Also quite liked hearing the sounds of nature; how relaxed you must be at the trailer enjoying the lake, the chippies, the loons, the fresh air, the inbreds. 😄 And you like broccoli (not mushy) and tomatoes?! What has happened to you and what have you done with Hank? My favorite answer was keeping it classy and what that means to you. When you are true to yourself and block out what others think, say, act, etc you find (or rediscover) who you really are. You don't have to work on what clothes you should wear, what you should say, what you share on social media (which has sadly become the determining factor for so many on how we should live, act, wear) it comes naturally. And with being true to who you comes honesty. And there is nothing classier than being your own authentic self. For me, it doesn't matter how someone looks, what house they live in, what car they drive, what they do for work - what matters is what is in their heart. I think we have all met people with titles, expensive cars, name brand clothes - and they are arrogant, pretentious, rude (not all, but at least in America I find that happens). And there are those who are barely getting by, wear hand me downs or second-hand clothes, take public transport (which is more frowned upon by many in America - go figure), and they would give you the shirt off their back and help anyone and anything. And it runs the gamut. I have thought about it, and I think the reason is because when you have less you know how hard it can be to get by so you want to help others in that situation. Anyway, I'm off topic - as usual. 🙄 The point is, staying true to who you are and what is in your heart will always be classier than putting on a front. Getting dressed up can be classy as well, as long as you remain true to you. (What? Long answer from me? Never! 😂) Thank you for attending my Ted Talk. 😉🍅🥦🎸🚘🌊♥️ (Emojis I never thought I'd use).

2023-07-29 16:22:06 +0000 UTCAnother fantastic AMA. Thank you, Hank, and to everyone who asked a question! 🥰 I loved the little snippets of wildlife we could hear in the background. 😍 Seems like you’re having a wonderful time at the trailer, and fingers crossed for some cooler weather soon. 🤞🌧️ I’m very grateful that things seem to have cooled down here a bit, too. 😮💨 It was pretty unbearable for a while … I don’t think you’ve shared “They Can’t Say Nothing” with us yet, btw. At least not in an 8 Track Session. 🤔 Maybe that would be a great idea for the next episode? 😍👀 Or, if I’ve missed it, can someone share the link please? I’d really like to hear it. I also looked up the 76 Chrysler New Yorker as you suggested, and … um … I definitely see your point. 😏 That’s not a car, that’s a sofa on wheels! 🤯🤯 And I’m VERY glad you have discovered your love of tomatoes. Tbh, anyone who doesn’t like them, is sus to me, lol. 😂 Kidding … kinda. 🤭 And also broccoli?? Who are you and what have you done with Hank that you LIKE vegetables? 😆 Good for you though. 😉

2023-07-29 10:30:38 +0000 UTCYou didn't like tomatoes and broccoli then but do now... dare I say could there be hope for you liking cheese in the future? 🤭🧀 I also loved your keeping it classy explanation. Very well said. ❤️

2023-07-29 07:52:13 +0000 UTCThank you so much for answering my question Hank. I think I speak for everyone here we would DEFINITELY be interested. And I think you might know a guy who could read the audio book😉😂🥰

2023-07-29 07:26:40 +0000 UTCGreat round! 👍🏻 I especially liked your answer to Amy C’s question about keeping it classy. Doing what makes sense to you is important. If you stop doing what makes no sense to you, you’ll free up time and energy for what’s meaningful. I stopped posting selfies a couple of years back because it felt pointless to me. It is a small thing of course, but it made sense to me and over time, letting go of many small things like that, adds up and the overall effect can be pretty big. It’s worth mentioning though that the selfie thing specifically seems to be a very personal one. I have friends who feel empowered and energized by posting photos of themselves and I know people who - like me - feel it serves no purpose at all. It’s a classic case of To Each Their Own. And THAT applies to everything in life, big or small. Live and let live. Thank you for the AMA, Hank. Enjoyed it a lot! 😊

2023-07-29 06:39:49 +0000 UTCLiving in Arkansas I have a full understanding of humidity unfortunately. It's like getting dressed after a shower without drying off. I would do vile things for a few thunderstorms at this point, but right now average temp is 102 with heat indexes of around 107 for the foreseeable future.. just makes me fall in love with storms even more.

2023-07-29 03:33:06 +0000 UTCThank you everyone for another interesting and intriguing round of questions. The answer to Elena's question did have me thinking about Dr. Seuss and his tale of Green Eggs and Ham! A big thanks also to Hank for answering my question and sharing your music with us. After this I'm going to have a relisten to those songs. :D

2023-07-29 02:01:55 +0000 UTCHi Hank! Thanks for answering my question, I really liked the answer. I eat tomatoes as if they were apples since I was a toddler, and my favorite flavor of jam is tomato jam (a friend of mine has a homemade recipe that won't share with me that is insanely delicious). Again thanks for your time 🍅.
