Steele player, Mike Johnson's dad played with Hank. Went on to play for Mel Street, then Bill Anderson. My ears were pinned to Mama's Hank records. I would shut myself off on New Years eve and just break down. Later, I met Mel Street(last 2-3 years of his life). Never will get over these two.

Yeah besides looks and song writing there's no doubts that young Sam is a member of the Williams family and with any luck at all he'll be a country music star like a combination of his Dad and his Grandfather and he'll hopefully keep the "family tradition " alive and well in country music for quite a few years to come 😊😅😮😂❤😊❤

Sam has a child, that tells me he has been in love with a woman, maybe he was 'recruited' or changed his mind , either way, he is a great singer/songwriter, he is a born singer. God loves all of His children, Sam is a Christian.
