I just had my fourth round of chemo, and the neuropathy has been robbing me of what little time I had to pick. I got my guitar out today for the first time in weeks, and after a few mins I was able to nail every note of that intro like I'd never taken a break. I really needed that. One of my favorite songs ever.
Well, the very best wishes from me to you. I had six rounds of chemo some years ago for lymphocytic leukaemia, and have been on chemo daily tablets for two years; folowing this I had my prostate removed robotically, followe two years laster by 36 sessions of radiotherapy, and the after effects are criminal. However, I pick up my banjo now and again and it transports me to a safe place. Bluegrass in the blood, visited Nashville in April, got away from the cold and wet British summer!
And that good ole Mt dew from popcorn was the bomb, him and our Aunt Letha lived at harmen den,bend of the river they were good together.may both of you rest in peace and I'll always Love you both...
We’ve turned this country into the same kind of country we ran away from initially, the story of popcorn Sutton stuck to me, he was a real example of someone sticking up to the government. He lived his life by his own terms and left this life on his own terms. One helluva soul.
My daddy use to make that stuff. I live in the Appalachian mountains in NE Alabama. I never knew where his still was. He died from liver disease at 41 and took that secret with him.
Hearing all these stories about people dying from moonshine makes me think it must be one tasty drink. I've always wanted to taste moonshine but not from a store. Hell I probably should learn how to make my own.
That's old school liqour! Made by Popcorn Sutton and JB Raider...God rest Popcorn. He was a true Moutain man. We miss u Popcorn, your liqour was the finest ever made and your stories about years past.
Down the road here from me there's an old holler tree Where you lay down a dollar or two Go on round the bend come back again There's a jug full of that good ole mountain dew Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug With that good ole mountain dew Now Mr. Roosevelt told 'em just how he felt When he heard that the dry law 'd gone through If your liquors too red it'll swell up your head You better stick to that good ole mountain dew Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug With that good ole mountain dew The preacher rode by with his head hasted high Said his wife had been down with the flu He thought that I o'rt to sell him a quart Of my good ole mountain dew Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug With that good ole mountain dew Well my uncle Snort he's sawed off and short He measures four feet two But feels like a giant when you give him a pint Of that good old mountain dew Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew And them that refuse it are few I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug With that good ole mountain dew
@@donterry6699 No it will not, so will not the home made wine/mead/beer. only thing legal in the ones is the Beer, even wine or mead past 12% alcohol by Volume is Illegal to make in the USA. People do it anyhow.
I'm from North Carolina and I first tried that stuff in 1962. One of our neighbors would cook it up and he once let us kids try a snort. It was awful. I'm in my 70s now and never touched it again. Ha. By the way, he was in law enforcement. Ha.
Im from the UK 🇬🇧 and wish i could sip the real moonshine you gals and fellas make unlike the toxic crap they produce in England the only place close to moonshine is pochin in Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
Nowadays, a lot of our young people are just plain-out wimps! They want everything handed to 'em, and they want to play video games, not work, and they think they have a bunch of stuff wrong with 'em. They sometimes get awards handed to 'em, just for showing up at School or whatever. Whatever happened to a young'un earnin' his keep? Society done had a huge hand in raisin' a bunch of soft, wimpy scaredy cats! I ain't saying all of 'ems like that, but some of 'em are. In a lot of cases, the young ladies are stronger and tougher than the young men are. It's pathetic!
I wish somebody would show me how to make shine. I remember when my father was driving through Good Old Alabama he missed some fine people there he actually used two jugs of the recipe for his Chevrolet and he said it cleaned all the carbon deposits out of the carburetor

I have a question about how far the stills were because even family members said they didnt know where the still was. But that would be impractical hike for miles out into the middle of no place were they not simply in the woods behind the house within walking distance?

That's the late Bill Millsaps. He was a friend and neighbor. He hand built most of his instruments and could play anything.
And that good ole Mt dew from popcorn was the bomb, him and our Aunt Letha lived at harmen den,bend of the river they were good together.may both of you rest in peace and I'll always Love you both...
I have a jar I'm holding on to so that I can drink it with my sons.
Popcorn is a legend and a piece of mountain history!
It's always good to see your Southern brother's passing along good old Mountain history
I remember Mr.Sutton from his junk store. Kind soul always had good conversations with myself and my pops
Popcorn Sutton is a legend. RIP Popcorn
these people were actaully playing for Popcorn at his still site...THINK OF THAT HONOR!!!
Thank you for recording and posting this. For 2 people this has to be the best version I have ever heard.
I agree. I was hoping it was on Apple Music but of course not smh
Except they didn't. Look up the last dam run of likker I will make on youtube it's a documentary of popcorn.
"This is the last damn run of likker I'll ever make"
RIP Popcorn Sutton. A true legend
Dare I say a true American hero.

RIP Popcorn! The embodiment of the spirit of WNC! Cook that ol’ dew, son! Cook it on up to the sky so popcorn gets a slug!
You don't cook moonshine you make it.

@@cristiansolano9491 it's not that difficult. You can buy a still on Amazon

That's old school liqour! Made by Popcorn Sutton and JB Raider...God rest Popcorn. He was a true Moutain man. We miss u Popcorn, your liqour was the finest ever made and your stories about years past.
When you get dishonorably discharged for drinking that good ol' Mountain Dew behind the controls of your A-144 fighter.
This song is awesome. This version is awesome. I wish I knew who was singing this!
Bill millsaps singing and picking the banjo, I think abigale moore on guitar.
Im drunk at 1am. I dont know how i get here but its great.
Man id just love sit and jam with these folk and hope that i might have something worthy of takin part in passin around.
That's freedom right there, it would be nice to still have it. ❤️
Damn good ole music to go with shine! Mix it up boy....
This is the best version of this song ❤ they need to get together again
awesome I drank it right out of the still in Kentucky many years ago It was awesome
I haven't had a drink in 10 years but I've always got a taste for it. This video flung a craving on me.
Go ahead and have some mountain dew.
A heritage and good wise old ways to live by. Thanks pop
Wish he was still around... Would have loved to meet the legend!
I recognize those vocals. That's Doodlethrower and The Golden River Grass!
Lol...that's Bill Millsaps and Abigale Moore.
Never met you Popcorn but your legend lives on. RIP
Granny on the Beverly hillbillies swore by it as a cure all.
Popcorn Sutton...my respect
Down the road here from me there's an old holler tree
Where you lay down a dollar or two
Go on round the bend come back again
There's a jug full of that good ole mountain dew
Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew
Now Mr. Roosevelt told 'em just how he felt
When he heard that the dry law 'd gone through
If your liquors too red it'll swell up your head
You better stick to that good ole mountain dew
Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew
The preacher rode by with his head hasted high
Said his wife had been down with the flu
He thought that I o'rt to sell him a quart
Of my good ole mountain dew
Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew
Well my uncle Snort he's sawed off and short
He measures four feet two
But feels like a giant when you give him a pint
Of that good old mountain dew
Oh they call it that good ole mountain dew
And them that refuse it are few
I'll hush up my mug if you'll fill up my jug
With that good ole mountain dew
Thank you for putting this on here 💓
Surprised he wasn’t clog hopping to that tune , epic 👍
Truly a lost art, and that's just not the singing!
Too bad he's gone but he did teach two other fellows
Moonshinin will NEVER die

Excelente música y buena destilería alambique.
Hell yea.. RIP Mr. Sutton. Im mashing in as i watch this. 100 gallon of corn mash..
what a true timeless treasure! Wild moonshine making, the folks that make it, and the good ole music that isnt music till its sung by classic folks!!
The theme song to that lovely trickle of my still running, thanks Popcorn!
This is even better than the Stanley brothers version, never thought I would say that.
This is real America. Its earth, its people, its soil.
wish popcorn was still around

This is the first time i have seen moonshine dancing in the jar. RIP Cotton, keep dancing.
Who listening to this on December 2020. Anyone?
I love this song!
I wish there were videos on how to make moon shine like this.
Im from the UK 🇬🇧 and wish i could sip the real moonshine you gals and fellas make unlike the toxic crap they produce in England the only place close to moonshine is pochin in Ireland 🇮🇪 👍
The girl with guitar is abigail moore
I used to like the idea of makin shine... Never tried making it. Well unless you count jailhouse hoot😂
Not for the drinkin but I wish we were in a time like this now
We still are look in another direction!
We sure in the hell are down here in Texas
All that matters is where you are

Good Ol Mountain Dew
Popcorn the GOAT. With one piece of corn, he’d have you stoned as a goat in the woods!
Ol' Popcorn was my inspiration to make my own 95% moonshine
right on !
My pappy’s corn squeezing, they called it white lightning, he filled a jug and we’d pass it round'
God Bless you Popcorn. Love you Jimmy
I ve met and visited with popcorn many many years ago at his junk store in Maggie Valley NC...
I wish somebody would show me how to make shine. I remember when my father was driving through Good Old Alabama he missed some fine people there he actually used two jugs of the recipe for his Chevrolet and he said it cleaned all the carbon deposits out of the carburetor
Simple, comfy, and wholesome.
Mind, "A dollar or two" in the 1930s, when the song was composed and the lyrics were written, is about twenty times that in 2023.
Bill definitely takes the cake for this version of the song. Hard to beat Ralph Stanly on this one.
A guy who lived his entire life by his own rules
What I would do just to try and have a jar of popcorn Sutton’s moonshine😭😭😭

I have a jar of it haven’t touched it never will

We still make a little hear in the Appalachian mountains of upstate New York mostly for family
I came to the next afternoon and swore "NEVER again" .
A friend of a friend was a moonshiner...
...got a little taste of his wares once....
Damn tasty!
That good Ole white lightning!
This is the best version of this song not too loud and crazy just right I’m 28 years old by the way not just another old man
Same i like this version more!
WHAT'S WRONG WITH BEING AN OLD MAN🤔🤔🤔. I'M AN OLD MAN NEVER HAD SHINE STOPPED DRINKING AT ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD BUT I STILL ENJOY THE MUSIC. OLD MY ASS.
Won't ever be another Popcorn. Bet he's making good corn liquor in Heaven.
Should have had old Grandpa Jones version!
nice tune!
My uncle hank, well he has a tank, one he got back in world war 2. It will not budge till you give it a gludge of that good old mountain dew
Believe me popcorn Sutton made the best mountain dew
So much better than a lot of the rot gut being made by modern day shine makers.
No it wasn't .
GOOD COVER ! 🤘 😀

Just remember to leave out the foreshot, guys!
i had a glass of shine one time a family friend brought us a jar and we all split it after i took a shot i coughed and the paint on the wall fell off
That means it wasn't any good it was made wrong good moonshine is smooth.
Rest in peace Popcorn.
I love it!
Moonshine from its own alambique
here is appalachian mountain and they make whiskey ? right? :D
