Honky Tonks

Even the smallest business can benefit from a safety plan.

Honky Tonk – a place, an attitude and a style

According to Trace Adkins, a honky tonk is any bar with country music. Trace says the style “puts a smile on your face and kicks you in your gut.”

In Hiland Wyoming and in Livingston Montana, honky tonks can be found. You don’t have to go to big flashy Texas places like the Broken Spoke in Austin or Gruene Hall in New Braunfels.

An essential element of honky tonk music is the pedal steel guitar that makes the distinctive twang. The bands at Hiland and Livingston have them.

Small business has mostly ignored safety planning because they think they are too small. They are like a honky tonk without a steel guitar! They do not know that their success is dependent on an orderly process.

The Wyoming Montana Safety Council is pioneering a way for the 50,000 small businesses in Wyoming and Montana to maintain profitability and to grow using basic safety concepts. Useful metrics are a part and results can be proven.

Honky Tonks are a unique business based on an idea and an attitude and then made credible with a steel guitar. Many young singers have made it big through honky tonks. Lefty Frizzell, the son of an oil field man, became the most popular singer of his time and had 4 songs on the top 10 at one time. Your business can also make it big for about the cost of a steel guitar!
