Did Hank Williams Senior on occasion use a guitar amplifier?

Hank Williams Sr. primarily performed with an acoustic guitar and is best known for his traditional country sound. However, there are accounts that suggest he occasionally used a guitar amplifier, particularly during live performances in the late 1940s and early 1950s, to enhance his sound. This use of amplification was not common for many country artists of his time, but it did align with the evolution of music technology during that era. Overall, while not a standard practice for him, he did experiment with amplification on certain occasions.
