Hank Williams’ song “Family Tradition” won a top 10 spot on the country charts in 1979, immediately popular for its unsavory self-portraiture. That year, Terry Simioni was 26 and groovin’ on the new country tune. After all, who can ignore Hank’s bawdry song and its irresistible romp?
Today, 35 years after the big hit for Hank Williams, Simioni — now president of Simioni’s Warm Floors in Spokane, Washington — has crafted his own set of family traditions, though a lot more wholesome in nature.
