One of my favorites. Didn't know Harry Carey in the silent days. He is very good in this, and I really like him. Also, the hill country and mentality is portrayed very convincingly....there are still places in West Virginia way up in the mountains that are just like this. Winding rutty roads will get you there, but you better not stay if you are not known! My Guitar buddy, Hippie Man, was from one of these places. The two major "industries" were shine and sang. Moonshine and ginseng. Everyone had a private, well protected ginseng patch. They would dig the root, plant the seed, and dry the roots. One man was allowed to come into the area and buy the dried roots. I would drive Hippie up there about twice a year to see his family, thus I was accepted. There would be a real old fashioned hoe down as Hippie had left, made his mark in the music world and yet still returned. Don't know how it is now, but about 8 years ago, the law did not even venture into these little pockets of the past. Hippie and I.
Fascinating story Ladyhawk, you never cease to amaze me with the story's you have and the things you've done!
