  4. I grew up dirt poor. Nothing saddens me than the vulnerability and shame that comes with that kind of poverty, which is why my life has always been about kindness.

  5. I wish you, that fiddle and banjo were out here right now. We’d have a fire, some smoke and drink, and you could tell me stories all night. You have a voice like an oak whiskey barrel half full of gravel. My Wife and I; all our people are Irish and Welsh and come through Appalachia to places like Oklahoma and the Texas Panhandle. Love the channel

  6. Everytime I think I have heard my favorite, you dupe me by one upping on the next.

    This was fabulous. Told with deep knowledge of the people and the region.

    A story I shall be sharing with many others… visit the share button. I could never do it even minimal justice, despite growing up in the Northern mountains and living in KY for 30 years…and I might have met one or two "blockaders". Maybe.

    Becoming my favorite channel of any genre.

  8. Thank you, JD for another wonderful story. You touch many hearts with the stories you bring us. I bet the second part of the story when he goes home, would be just if not more heartwarming. I wonder if there’s an accounting of that? And if not? I’m picturing one in my mind right now. A lot of tears and hugs and smiles. Thanks again JD. God Bless you richly my friend. jj

  9. Many mountain family had to do what they could do to make ends meet. I knew many man who made corn back when I was a kid. I used to know which one sold good corn and which was bad. But what was ironic was the respect between a shiner and a revenuer. Love the story ❀ thank you for the history.

  10. Geat story JD! To my knowledge I don't have any moonshiners in my family history but the mention of the blacksmith shop made me think of my great grandfather who was a blacksmith at the tail end of the 1890s into the early 1900s. And his name was Will Phillips! This was in my home town of Russell, in Warren County of Pennsylvania. I doubt we're related JD, but you never know!
