En Oak Hill, Virginia, el conductor se dio cuenta que Hank yacía muerto.

Hello! I am working on a film on the history of country music. We would be interested in using the photograph above of Hank Williams and the Drifting Cowboys on the Grand Ole Opry stage, with the "Pops-Rite" sign in the background. Do you know where we might find a copy of that photograph, or a high-resolution scan? Thank you! Susan
