Page Turner Posted January 11, 2022 Share #17 Posted January 11, 2022 ...you know how there's the funeral scene in "The Big Chill", where they play "You Can't Always Get What You Want" ? I have this mental picture of them playing "Sweet Home Alabama" on the organ, in the funeral home chapel at this service. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post jsharr ★ Posted January 14, 2022 Popular Post Share #30 Posted January 14, 2022 I think I have been in denial. Slowly starting to sink in. Found my self close to tears or in tears the last day or so when I think of Hank and all the shenanigans we shared online. He and I would text each other and request threads, or pictures or whatever. Was fun to collaborate with another free spirit who loved to poke fun at himself and others. I am going to miss Hank. I had a coffee mug that Sonny Johnson (ModoVincere / Chopped Liver) made for me. Sadly, it was dropped and broken. I wish I had taken the time to exchange gifts with Hank and had something tangible to associate with him. Whenever I hear Tin Cup Chalice by Jimmy Buffet I think of Sonny. I may have to listen to some Bad Finger or Partridge Family tunes and come up with a song for Hank. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
