Wonder if this guy knew Joe Kennedy????
I am 73, born in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
My grandfather made moonshine and sold it. He was also an antique dealer. He lived to age 90 and left us in 1985. I have heard alot of stories about my granddad. But never a story about him falling on hard times. :):):)
My daddy learned to drive from the local bootlegger in Rome GA back in the 30s.
The women learn cannin, and we learned shinin'.
Now days we use stainless steel weld tanks, on a two burner stove, copper tube down through a doh plug. Works like a charm.
Runs a lawn mower too.
LOL.
