Ping!!
I’d go bail for Popcorn. But shine’ll hurt you. Bad. Don’t ask me how I know.
Moonshiners aren’t extinct around these parts. Not by a long shot.
Back in the 1970s, when you couldn’t buy liquer of any kind on Sunday here, everybody went to see (we called her) “Mama Do-Right.”
Mama Do -Right was actually named Mamie Dunlap, and she was probably in her 70s or early 80s. She and her spinster sister lived alone in a little white frame house between Oliver Springs and Oak Ridge.
We used to drive up, knock on the door, and she’d sell you beer, liquer. She didn’t make it, just sold it when you couldn’t get it elsewhere, but for three times what it cost in a liquer or convenience store.
I’m sure the law knew about the sisters, everybody else did. But they never were arrested.
When I see the Andy Griffith shows with the two old bootlegging sisters it always reminds me of Mama Do Right.
