    This is exactly the kind of hands on history our kids need to see and take part in as these did.

    I can listen to John talk all day, what a interesting fellow and good human being he is. They don't make them like that anymore. God bless and keep up the good work. Love the channel. Long time subscriber, Iggy. p

    Great video like always John and Jodi.
    Sherry is always there supporting her husband in whatever way she can. She is such a lovely person.
    Everything is very educational to those who have not grown up around this. It brings back memories for me.
    I could imagine what the bacon taste like. It had to be very yummy!

    I enjoyed this so much, but in a bittersweet kind of way. I'm 71 years old, but when i was just a kid in the 60's my mother and father took me to Cades Cove to that very spot. I miss my parents so much. We have lots of relatives in East Tennessee and some grew up in SW VIRGINIA .

    I am going to order some Tennessee sorghum syrup. I have always wondered what it tastes like. We do only maple syrup up here in New England.

      You won't be disappointed. It's got a very distinct taste to it but dog gone it I couldn't put it down once I started putting it on my biscuits and pancakes

  • @Rusty_Nickle

    It is so awesome that they do this. I do kind of the same thing up in our area of North Dakota. Obviously it's different because we're teaching about the pioneers that settled the area and lived off of the Great plains. But it is so awesome to be able to teach people about history. And it's important to teach history much like John is doing there and keep it alive. Because history can fade away so fast. This is the awesome part of the internet though, not only will history stay alive but we have someone generous enough to teach us .Those kids feeding the mill is an experience he'll take home with him and have for the rest of his life. It's also really awesome because not only is it being taught it's being filmed. And reaching all corners of the world.

    Thanks John and Jodi. We absolutely love these videos. We've been to their store, and they were "cooking" across the road. The experience was memorable. We couldn't make the Cades coves process at this time. Is there any way to know the Gunthers' cades cove schedule next year?

      Thanks for the comment and watching the video. It was a great honor for me to make almost 40 videos with Ralph Robertson that I filmed over a two year period. Since his passing in December they have been a surge in his video views here on CZcams. The series was first posted a few years back on Facebook but at that time the CZcams Channel only had about 2k subscribers. Now that I’m at over 100k subs “The Greasy Hollow Memories” videos have found a whole new audience.. Come along with me to Greasy Hollow, Tennessee and meet a real Appalachian storyteller that became a living legend. Below is a link to the Greasy Hollow Memories series if you would like to watch more. John Ward
