Who needs Rocking Chair Money?

Final salary, index-linked (which index?), "inflation-proof" pensions are almost certainly a thing of the past. They'll go the way that the gold watch, the golden handshake and the "big cheque" lump sum retirement payout are going...down the tube.

No more "Rockin' Chair Money", even for war veterans?

Hank Williams sings the Bill Carlisle/Lonnie Glosson composition (copyrighted in 1947). Hank recorded it in 1949 (this Shreveport radio version has been overdubbed).

The Honey Dewdrops


Finally, my own demo-take on the song (recorded at the Sun Studio, Memphis). Rock on down the line!
