I think I was born in the wrong era because, I could go back in the woods and live, and fish for my food, I use to fly fishing with my father in law, and I loved it. When you walk down that lane, I am on your shoulder, enjoying every thing you to sir. May god bless, you for everything you do. And, god bless to your family.

I am also a June 10th baby.

He's truly a gentleman anyone would love to call : Dad or grandpa. I hope he has more stories about his life/ childhood he will share with us. Much love & respect to Mr. Day.

I'm from the East Coast but my father's from Canada. I don't know why, but he loved Bluegrass music. I'd press my ear up against the speaker to listen like a fool. My grandfather was a machinist for Sun Oil and worked on the battleships that would need repair from the war. He grew apples when he retired, and my brother and I would help in the fall. It was hard work (to me), but worth so much. He was friends with the last chief of the Lenni-Lenape Indians in MD. He was shown where their grave site was, I think among Indians that's sacred ground. Pop-pop was known by everyone around. People would drive from up in PA to buy apples from him. He had brought timber from an old barn in Pennsylvania to build his barn, He had two J Deere tractors, a '50 and '55. He was the hardest worker I knew, and hunted, fished (he was on Field&Stream once for fly-fishing), apple farmed, and was a good example of a man. I honestly think people now-adays have lost their minds. Joe Biden lived near me about 3 miles away. He used to come in a popular restaurant I worked at. Everyone would make a big deal about him "Biden's here!". I was extremely suspicious of him because he seemed like he just loved the attention, but not the people. My girlfriend's family were friends with the Bidens. Her younger brother told me that he "knew that guy was a pedophile when I met him". Biden had lived in the artist community in Arden, Del. It was a strange place, my Dad worked at IBM, and we'd go to the dinner theater there for christmas party. We drove into that place and I got a wierd vibe, I was wondering what in the world we were doing there. A man who lived there, Jay Parker, said that it was an Illuminati center. They used to have rituals in the basement of the dinner theater there. It was a very bad place, the local police were called, and they killed the two officers and called the headquarters and told them "If you want anymore of this, send more policemen". Biden is connected with extremely evil people. This is how it is now-adays, people have lost their minds.

My mom grew up in north Georgia. When you said, see the chickens under the house, I had to laugh. My mom said snow flakes would come through the walls. It was a hard life, but a darn good life full of love and a big family.

My father also had to quit school at an early age. Logging. He went into the services and became a mechanical engineer. My dad could do almost anything!

We will never forget your story!

@@tlb796 That's awesome!!!

We have tried to become a better society.. With programs to help a family in need so children didn't have to do this

Both of my parents had to quit school to help their parents on their farms. Hard times back in their day.

That's for damn sure. I am 68 years old

We do...you just don't hear about us. Trust in God. Everything's gonna be alright. 😎

Plenty of wholesome people. If you dont know any, you might want to start doing some inner reflections.

Amen

I completely agree, the only problem is, the people running and fixin to run this country dont necessarily want people like this. They want people to be dependent on the government, not independent. Thats systematic control. Ah and if they can talk you into bein in debt with a cpl banks then that's just a plus.

I do too!

First I'm 70 y old.I lived thru the 50s,I drove old cars,had a paper route,a Draft Card,Bought&sold cars,Dad bought&sold cars,not many late 40s to current havent driven. ANYTIME someone post a video of the 50s someone always tells how we hung blacks&done this or that😡,YES there were bigots and racist,BUT a lot of that talk was not true!. We WORKED and never had time for all they said we done!!. I lived in Indiana,like I said bought cars,off black people,We never had racial issues here that I saw,I went to school w blacks in the city and suburbs after we moved.Most blacks stayed in their own areas.There were stores here called Atlas that sold items they liked it was a biracial store whites went there too.@ least around here we never had many issues,NOW WE DO!,They hate us now!, We have shootings about every night,Racial progress!??... Its horrible!.

Similar to your story. My dad was born in 1919 and had me when he was 48. I grew up listening to all of the great stories and I love the music. Most of the old people at my church are shocked that I know the music their parents knew.

Thank you so much!!! It has been an honor to be a part of this for Charlie Day.

Understated.

Did u know any mauks in Elliott county ? My great grandfather was Roosevelt mauk he lived on route 504 many years ago before he died.

👍

So true.

Wow, thank you

I moved to Lexington from south Florida. Fell in love with the people, met a girl, and never looked back. The girl and i parted ways. Kentucky, i still live there though. You'll never meet, more honest, friendly people.

I also live in Ky,...I hated it growing up in a small town, there wasn't much to do. However now as I am raising children, I have grown to love it.

I grew up a hop , skip n jump from Harlan county ! He was my daddy’s age but the mountain folks didn’t change that much from that generation to mine. The changes came into Appalachia when the mining left. It’s still beautiful country but poor and no industry or opportunity and overcome with drugs ! So so sad !

Amen!!!💯🙌

Nah we still here you just don’t know us cause where busy trying to take care of our people and maybe fix this messed up world if we can!

@Jon Bonez Sorry to hear that, Jon. You're not alone.

Jon Bonez, I was going to comment to Serviccarrider that it was happening to me now. I have 2 boys, 3 grandchildren, and siblings....but I’m alone, no friends, no one calls, comes by, or invites me. I have a husband, but he’s an alcoholic, when he gets off work sits in his truck on a daily and drinks till he’s falling down drunk or abusive....so I have no husband really. I keep telling myself, I have God and my dog to talk to & protect me.

yes I totally understand, 56 no kids no family. Recently broke my foot and found out no friends.

@Jon Bonez I hear ya same boat

Well I guess we are in good company even if just for a moment here, 56 here , family gone or far away, friends the same. I do have some great memories but I alone most of my life so memories are bittersweet, the best are from the rockymountains new mexico to Canada, just faded now.

Absolutely!!! Thanks for taking the time to listen.

Yes sir that’s right! They could learn a lot from going outside and enjoying God’s creation like he does too.

The sorry federsl government succeeded in getting mankind away from living off the land and brainwashed folks after the 60's to think that they needed to get a college degree unorder to get ahead in life. All that discuss leave folks in debt with high debt for their college loans. We have ruined our country over the past 70 years since early 1960's.

Thanks for listening

Thanks 👍

Glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks for listening

Yay! Thank you!

Amen.

Yes indeed!
