So, you have some of the great old memories of him as well. Most people don’t realize that he started out selling fertilizer. He told me, that’s where he first started telling his Ledbetter stories.

Thanks for sharing those memories. Sounds like a lot of the same kind of folks I grew up around in the Fifties. As Lonesome George Gobel used to say, “They don’t hardly make them kind no more.”
Hard to believe that’s Larry the Cable Guy.
I took all I could of it but forced myself to watch the part around the 42’ mark. Probably going to see a psychiatrist tomorrow and I won’t be mentioning you in my prayers tonight. ;-)
(Thanks for the lighthearted thread, PJ. They’re desperately needed these days, and some of the replies were heartwarming.)

Nonsense. If your bowling alley has valet parking, you might be a....
I spent a day working for an old guy near Cadillac Michigan back about 93. At the end of the day the old man handed me $12. It irritated me fr obvious reasons but I thanked him and went on my way considering it a lesson leaned.
The next day he showed up at my house pulling a flatbed trailer stacked with aluminum siding and copper wire. He said that he had some guys tear down a couple of old house trailers but didn’t want the hassle of stripping the wire. I figured he couldn’t rip me off there so I told him I’d take it. A couple hours of stripping wire and I made more than $1500.
The next day I took his trailer back and he asked how much I made and said that it was about what he figured. It was then that I realized that he wasn’t being a jerk by paying me $12, it just happened to be all the cash he had in his pocket when he paid me.
He’s definitely funnier as Larry the cable guy.
As for the 1957 movie, I’ve been around east Tennessee Appalachian types that would make those guys sound like city slickers.
check out rodney carrington.
BTW, there was a whole book written about that photo I posted. The author had a very similar name to yours...Hendrickson.
Oh there are plenty of rednecks out there lol
Down the road from us back in SC was a guy whom you could barely understand when he spoke but oddly enough had great diction when singing lol
Larry is a genuine American who loves this country.
Sorry, I just couldn't help myself. :^)
LOL. I am embarrassed for not catching the typo before posting.
That’s a redneck for ya!
Jerry Clower utubes are all funny and I never heard of him before I clicked on one of his routines posted on FR a while back....You can spend all evening listening to them all....
I guess I don’t view it that way. Because I know guys who live off the land are the SMARTEST people to exist and know how to survive when TSHTF. My parents being among them.
Then there was that char, Tony something or other, that the late Andy Kaufman did...
