I don't think there's anymore great storytellers like Andy Griffith and Jerry Clower. When I was a kid I didn't think anything about it but now that I'm in my 50's I realize how great they were. The current state of the world is in sad shape!
@Don Taylor Mt. Airy is technically a part of the Appalachian Foothills, but people from the Winston-Salem area don't consider ourselves Appalachian. We're just as leery of hillbillies as we are of Piedmonters and Tidewaters. To call Andy Griffith an "Appalachian humorist" would be less accurate than calling him a Southern humorist.
"Murder in Coweta County" is his best role, simply because he plays against type as a racist killer. "Under the Influence," where he plays an alcoholic father raising a young Keanu Reeves, was also really well-acted. Either one of these was imo better roles than A Face In The Crowd.
Years ago my uncle offered me my first taste of moonshine. As a teenage boy I of course said yes. As he was pouring some spilled onto the table and ate the varnish off. I reconsidered and said no thank you.
While I was in the Marine Corps I lived in Newbern and my next-door neighbor was Mr. Jones. We had a barbecue for the Fourth of July and he had some moonshine in his garage. I had given him a Marine Corps blanket do rap the quart bottles in. One of them leaked.And ate holes in the wool! I did not drink any of the shine! Many years later as a cop in Newark New Jersey I did get some. It was a local and very good! A couple of years later the house with the still Blew up! They were tapping in to the electric from the pole on the street! It was an abandoned house!

Eh, don't know your story to the fullest, but I've had some good ol' Southwest Virginia 'Shine. Goes down smooth as water (smells worse than the taste), but will "grab a holt of ya" in a few minutes.
He was discovered doing humorous monologues in clubs. Check out his big hit from 1953 called What it Was, Was Football & it’s flip side : Romeo and Juliet.
I used to have a still in a little town calked Mayberry, North Carolina. I only had one customer---Otis Campbell----but I got rich off him. But that damned deputy Barney Fife found the still and chopped it up. So I joined the Army and built a still for a M.A.S.H. unit.
I went to cooking school and another student cooked and put on the steam table for everybody to see... a whole mess of green beans with a snake head looking out! They were canned. "Hush, the others'll want one too!"
Respect North Carolina yet nothin beats Arkansaw mountain dew ( home made medicine, cleaner, drain clearer, keeps away critters. And, for my uncle who converted his model T car, gasoline).

Love Andy!! He represented North Carolina so well!! My aunt and he grew up together. God Bless Him!!

There will never be another Andy Griffith
Andy had a great sense of humor. Great storyteller. ICON in my eyes
Ole Andy is surely missed! I loved his country humor!!!
He was a true southern talent
Appalachian talent. To me that's different than Southern.
He was simply talented.
i know I'm pretty off topic but does anybody know a good website to watch new series online?
@Paul Talon I watch on Flixzone. You can find it by googling =)

Love the late Andy Griffith
My family and I love Andy Griffith!
Andy Griffith could play a real heavy role too.
Watch a movie called"A Face in the Crowd" , Griffith portrays a very evil character...
@@mikehileman9476 and murder in cowweta county.
@@mikehileman9476 His best role ever, I think.
Pray for the Wildcats.

We need Andrew "Sheriff" Griffith today!!
Andy Griffith was an actor. Andy Taylor was the sheriff.
My grandpa Wilson used to make white lighnin. My great grandpa Stephens used to run it in a mule drawn wagon. Which I currently own.
My Grandfather Whisman made it too and my father ran it across the Ohio River, from KY, into Ohio.
My grandpa was a moonshiner in Alabama. Till he got caught.
i live out in the middle of nowhere and the boys out here make some good stuff

I miss all the crew of Andy espeacially him
We called that Corn Squeeze
He was so funny 🤣

Never heard that one
I never knew he was into stand up comedy. He was really hood at it, too! A bit like Jerry Clower.
He was discovered doing humorous monologues in clubs. Check out his big hit from 1953 called What it Was, Was Football & it’s flip side : Romeo and Juliet.

Dont drank er iffn ya kanint read the paper throught er.
I drank white lightning. They say I took off all my clothes and climbed out the window. I had to take their word on in BECAUSE I DON'T REMEMBER .
Hmmm ? But I must have cause I could see out the window cause the slidey marks next morning :)

Pretty scenery and crazy, radical right citizens
Moonshine running on either side of the North Carolina / Tennessee border. Legal now so most are out of business.
Buy me a new Raleigh Nike. Thanks.
Ngl I thought he was going to sing the song “White Lightning” by George Jones
the actual name of this clip is "North Carolina, My Home State" - you can find it on the album titled "This Here Andy Griffith"
😀
I prefer tater licker over corn liker.
Learn to spell Dumb Azz!!
