ODE TO HANK

“I grew up on classic country and gospel, and I still find joy in the songs of my lifelong musical hero, Hank Williams”

- Peter Trenholm

Hello friends, I am Peter Trenholm. The Trenholms came to the new Hw world from England in 1772. I have four brothers and four sisters, and am the eighth child born to Hudson and Mary (Peers), coming into this world on July 29, 1949. I was raised in the beautiful seaside village of Pugwash on the north shore of Nova Scotia. My wife, Myrna, and I have four children and 13 grandchildren. My first memory of music was at age five, listening to my parents’ small Admiral radio and, at 14, I taught myself guitar. In 1963 I saw Doc Williams in concert, which was my first exposure to this thing called country music— and I liked it! Soon after, I heard the music of Hank Williams for the first time and I’ve been hooked ever since.
