Classic Country Music Fans--Who recorded this song???!
Question: Some time ago I was in a conversation with someone about the song "The Older The Violin The Sweeter The Music" I said it was recorded by the late Hank Thompson and the other person said I was incorrect and that Hank Snow is the one who had the hit with that song. Which one is correct? I still say it was Hank Thompson. If Hank Snow recorded it I don't recall it.

I've never heard Snow record the song. Thompson did it for Dot in the mid-70s. It's on the MCA "Country Music Hall of Fame" CD of Thompson's.
It was recorded by Hank Thompson according to Wikipedia.
Hank Thompson in 1973
