Years ago, I use to take guitar lessons from Hank Corwin. Hank then moved to Nashville and played with several groups. The last time I heard about him he was playing pedal steel with Porter Wagoner. I wonder if he's still playing with PW or with someone else? Hank, if you out there, give a holler! |

Last I heard, several months ago, Hank has "retired" and was raising dogs. I don't know if the retirement was forced or voluntary. |

Jack,Hanks retirement was voluntary and he and his wife raise show dogs and they travel.Last time I talked to Hank by phone was back in March. MCEDITOR,Hank and I played together for Jim Ed Brown from 1970 to 1976.I am a guitar player here in Nashville.  |

As I remember,I worked one of the clubs for Hank Corwin on broadway one time,Probably the Wheel, or Merchants',Lynn Owsley was at Deemans...Back then Nashville closed about midnite.....I always liked to play at least until dawn.Jerry Braswell worked for Jim Ed somewhere in that time frame [This message was edited by Vern Kendrick on 14 June 2000 at 07:27 PM.] |

GOOD GRIEF!! Jerry Braswell! I haven't heard that name in a "hunnert" yrs. I wonder what he's up to? Hank is the person responsible for me coming to Nashville. If I ever see him again,I'm gonna shoot him.  ------------------ |

Jerry is alive and well in the Atlanta suburbs. He plays weekends with a couple of groups. He's with me on the Georgia Mtn. Fair staff band where he plays bass and sings. A great fellow. I'll tell him you inquired, Smiley. Bill C. |
