Thank you for posting this. "Strawberry" Tipton was my father. He passed away in 1985 and was buried on my 23 birthday. I'm now 51 years old now and I cannot believe there is video that has this kind of quality from that far back. I showed this to my boys last night who never met him and had never seen a video of him. It was a special time for me to share with them. Thank you!!
I knew Strawberry, I was a great, kind and good person and never had any harsh words about anyone. What an old soul.
Now that is cool
This is Precious for you.
heaven- bound@,de
Amazing story ....cretinos from México
You must be so proud buddy . Long may his memory live 🤗
GET HER, STRAWBERRY
Straw Berry did in fact giit it that night good damn we could use more of this these days
Doodle was my grandpa's cousin I still can't believe there's actually a thrower that can sing
Amazing
tbh I'm still not convinced
Bill Kee on the fiddle is my grandfather’s brother
Bill Kee on the fiddle . That’s my grandfather’s brother. I thoroughly enjoyed seeing this video. Thanks for sharing.
Bill Kee was my grandfather. Crazy.
From Gary Indiana, I'm missing some good ol' Appalachian Mountain Dew😔😭
I don't even know what to say. So many levels to this video.
I spent a lot of time when I was younger man in Dahlonega. Some good memories up that way. A lot of love from a boy from the Foggy Holler.
Thank you,doodle was always one of my favorites in the festivals.met him once and talked harmonica after he heard me playing blues with some younger players.what a character .
Momma and Daddy talked about Strawberry a lot ,,,,,said he was my cousin,,,,only met him once when I was young.,,,,,did he work for the sheriff department if so then thats him. Last time I saw him was when aunt Jan passed away. Daddy passed in 90 and I'm 58 now....miss those days.
Hi Tim,
Yes, he worked for the Hall County Sheriff's Department for about 16 years.
I grew up in Oakwood and I’m glad to see this music happening right up the road.
WOOOH that was some MIGHTY fine pickin and a-singin
I dont wanna hear bout skinny people saying their fat fingers got in the way anymore after watching Strawberry rip that Banjo open a new one :D
Talented!! Strawberry was my grandpa. I never met him, he passed in 1985. I think my dad still has his banjo.
LOL The Sex Idol of Dahlonega!! Greatness!
There will never be another Doodle...
These fuckers can throwdown! Love these sounds.
Delightful and crazy, what more can you ask for?
One of my favorite music performance videos on all of UA-cam. These guys are so much fun to watch, they're having so much fun, and they're GOOD.

Nice video and you got my thumbs up.
I love it
My father was born and raised across the state line in Muscadine, Alabama and I was to a lesser extent raised there as a young boy. We would travel into Tallapoosa for groceries and such from time to time. My uncle Harvey ran the pool hall there as well. Life happens and we traveled the world but my dad retired back to Tallapoosa and owns a shop on Head Avenue. To this day, there's still a picture of Doodle Thrower outside on the wall. A true treasure. What a musician and a great man.
great music.
Love that clawhammer banjo!
Doodle is gigantic
Love this!!! Is the complete concert available?
I've heard plenty of different versions of this song, and in my experience it just doesn't seem complete without that harmonica.
Muito bom
This is Mojo Wolf givin a big ten-four !
esses americanos roçeiros comem demais!
👍👍👍👍👍
cool
The real deal!!
Hem, 1:47, no cable on SM57?
Looks like kinda a clawgrass style of banjo playing? Great stuff!
Mountain Dew needs to make this their theme song
It used to be.
Get her strawberry!!! hahahahaha
enjoyed!
This is the real shit
Are we going to ignore the fact that the man wore an actual strawberry on his hat? 1:04
Bill Golden Somebody gave it to him as a gift. He was called Strawberry cause of his hair. That was my grandpa.
@@skybee6 I love it. Your grandpa was the man.
Well spotted. The singing is definitely live, maybe they couldn't find a cable for the mic or used it elsewhere, does seem strange though.
Can we get a yeah haw .
GIT ER DONE!!
Makes me wanna grab a jug!!!

Lol, holy fuck, thanks for the laugh!
Man thats alot of burgers
This is why Donald Trump got a chance
How petty of you, congratulations.
what the fuck is this???
america summed up in one video
The music and musicianship from the hills has always been exemplary. The people? Not so much. Isolated geographically, mentally and socially with little curiosity or desire to know or understand anyone or anything outside their very small bubble. They are not the “informed populace” the founders hoped would be the citizens who vote. They vote from ignorance and prejudice towards anything new or progressive.
Bullshit
Didn't know they made brushes this wide
You sir are the ignorant one. These guys were all very intelligent musicians.
