Hopefully someone will save these podcasts. They will be treasures for how folks lived in small towns back in the day that built America. These stories are Southern Traditions that we must hold on to. Another great show! Oh and where the Blount County farmers camped out on their way to the farmers market in Birmingham on horse and wagons. Was between the Morris Jacks and the new red light entering Gardendale on 31 hwy. Horse branch hill, that was considered half way.
Thanks for watching and sharing this bit of history! I knew that place was called Horse Branch Hill, but did not know about the camping. Different time and place!
What a pleasure it is listening to these men, wow. I used to live around the Jasper area where my father's family was from and I so miss Alabama now. My father was such a good storyteller & I never thought about recording some of his tales. He let me join his "Round Table Buddies" that gathered at Jack's (in Curry) for breakfast & it was so fun listening to all these men share stories and laugh -- boy did they laugh! Jack's would arrange a bunch of tables in a big circle for them. Maybe they still do. Anyway, thanks guys.
Yes! The Jack’s round-table. Hard to beat the tales told in there. Thanks for watching the show and leaving this comment! Hopefully, we can create another positive experience for you ij the future.
Thanks for watching and taking the time to leave this feedback! I am proud that you enjoyed it and hope you will find some more of our content enjoyable as well.
I believe the Blount County Museum has a book for sale on the history of Blount Springs with pictures of the resort and operations of the community as well as stories about some of the people who lived there.
I have found my new favorite UA-cam channel. I have laughed until the tears have flew. These men are the backbone of this country. Being a retired trucker, I can relate to, "Turn this thing off and I can tell ya one" 😅😅😅
If you bottle that sulphur water up and freeze it, when it melts the smell is gone. I have no idea how it works, but it's something my daddy showed me about 50 years ago.
Love these podcasts. I live in walker county AL these videos remind me of being a kid and going on the church camping trip to the Baptist camp in Nauvoo. All the old timers would sit up and tell stories just like this to anyone who would listen. A lot of great wisdom and knowledge was shared by these men. I thank the good lord I got to be around men like these.
Being a 34 year old born and raised in Mobile, Alabama I could listen to this all day long. It's too funny how so many of our elders have the same mannerisms and ways of talking. Makes me reminisce on a lot on my family members and friends who are no longer here with us. Well wishes to everyone on the show!
I loved hearing these stories. Makes me miss my sweet father in law who could tell the best stories. Thanks for honoring these men with the respect they deserve.
I remember many days sitting on the bench on the porch of the store, listening to the tobacco farmers from my area on N.C. tell stories. Use to take trips with my uncle in the late 70s early 80. They were fun trips.
Hello im a new subscribers. Im from Adger AL down in south west jefferson county. I myself have heard many stories from my grandpaw . I been going through your videos and it brings back memories listening to the fellers on your podcast telling stories like my grandpaw use to tell. My grandpaw was born in Kellerman AL down in coal country . And i was raised in Johns AL and back long ago was a big mining town. But anyway i like watching your podcast and look forward to many more and listening to the old time stories.
Hey, Chris! Proud to have you watch the show and leave us a few comments to tell more about you. I love to hear that the stories are relatable and generating some good memories from your own life. We hope to keep bringing you good stories in the future.
My grandfather was born in 1920 in Blount Springs Alabama. His name was Motte. It just looked like woods and Top Hat and more woods to me 1980-2010. I haven't been there in years but I hope it's still the same. I love Top Hat BBQ. Take a drive from Stukeys to Top Hat, it will make you smile.
I enjoyed this podcast very much. I didn’t know Cox Cove had been called Homer Lewis Cove. My Grandmother was married to Homer Lewis. I have fond memories of spending time on his farm in the 60’s and 70’s.
These are great stories you share and are very relatable to anybody who’s spent a little time in rural USA. These precious old timers harken us back to a time when life was simpler, yet more difficult (nobody told them so they didn’t know to whine like us modern day folks 😀). Thanks to the hosts and your guests for sharing this pleasant bit of American history.
My momma would tell me a story about a salesman that always showed up at lunchtime at my grandparents house. It made momma mad because she said Grandma barely had enough for just them. So one day momma went and took her teeth out, put toothpaste around her mouth foamed it up. Then she would peak around the door frame and giggle. He left and didn’t show up at lunchtime again.
Why ain’t y’all got your hands on table , will it fall or what… I noticed the fellow on the far right of screen tap the old man finger and he took his hand of
We were having trouble with the noise carrying through the microphones. Terry and Gerald both like to tap the table while they tell stories. We were just trying to keep the sound quality.
Y’all have been snipe hunting before ain’t y’all let’s hear some of them stories you know it’s a rare bird you get quoker sack and a stick it only shows up at night time and you got to be very quiet let’s hear some stories 😂😊
Some body please tell me why they keep on telling the old man to take his hands off the table am I missing something I not meaning to be rude but I don’t understand
It helps with the sound after recording. When we tap on the table it can be heard in the microphones. Some things we go over before recording but they told us we would have to remind them throughout the show and they were correct 😂

"Maybe she lied" 😂
One of the highlights! I died when he said it😵🤣
First video I've watched and I had a great time. Love hearing the old timers telling their stories! Laughed a lot.

Thanks for this information. Blount Springs is such a interesting mystery.

@@BigDarrin3163 hey! We really appreciate you saying this. We are honored. Regarding the “turn it off and…” boy did they! Enough to split your sides🤣
He got plenty to tell off camera 😂

Interesting! Never heard of this. Thanks for the info.
I drink enough sulphur water to float a boat as a kid! Not now.
These story tellers remind me a little of the late great Jerry Clower. God bless and keep them coming
That's a great comparison! We appreciate your kind words!
Great that you are saving these stories for everyone to enjoy. Saving history and life experience is pure gold! Even for someone from Ohio !
Glad you’re enjoying these stories!
We appreciate you watching!
Best podcast on UA-cam. These guys remind me of when I was a kid listening to my dad and my uncles talking.
Thank you very much!

Mineral Springs in Chilton Co. was a resort back in the 1800's. Sulphur springs similar to Blount Springs. Enjoyed this one boys!
@@livewithnick never heard of it! Thanks for sharing. Proud u enjoyed it👍🏻
They liked them home remedies back in those days!
@@shanethomas7177 I like them still lol. The ones that work anyway lol.

@ thank you! Just discovered y’all and it’s so nice to be able to listen to something that my grandsons can listen to also.
I remember that hotel I’m from Panama City
You know he ain’t a lyin 😂
Why ain’t y’all got your hands on table , will it fall or what… I noticed the fellow on the far right of screen tap the old man finger and he took his hand of
Why can’t he rest his hand on the table? 6:45
We were having trouble with the noise carrying through the microphones. Terry and Gerald both like to tap the table while they tell stories. We were just trying to keep the sound quality.
THATS what you focused on? lol
Came to ask the same thing
The one gentleman talks about a book he wrote. Can you please share the name of the book and where it can be purchased?
Here is a link to the book on Amazon. amzn.to/3USSTfw
Ordered. Thank you.
@@YonderSharkYou are welcome!
I was looking down here fixing to ask the same question! Woot!
Y’all have been snipe hunting before ain’t y’all let’s hear some of them stories you know it’s a rare bird you get quoker sack and a stick it only shows up at night time and you got to be very quiet let’s hear some stories 😂😊
Second story involving a hatchet.
That is pure gold!
