"Billy" was Billy Walker, who had led a prayer of repentance for Foley earlier that night. The song Foley had sung was the gospel number "Peace in the Valley." "Hank" was Hank Williams, Jr.; the words to him were the last words attributed to Foley in Williams's song "I Was with Red Foley (The Night He Passed Away)," and thus poetic license may have been taken.
