    & ticked me more than any video off ur channel that i watched so far. 💖💌💖
    Tht was the MOST caring💞generous💝
    & sweetest thing😍 I've ever seen on yt out of "ALL" the channels/videos I've seen! 😊
    John...I gta tell u this....from the very 1st video I ever watched of "u & mr. Ralph in greesy hollow" I cld tell that it was more than jus getting content/videos for ur channel. It was a "freindship" tht had already started to blossom. Ur not like sum of the other channels that is jus out to get content/videos for ur channel so u can make money. I'm sure that making the money doz help bt its obvious that u care abt mr. Ralph. Not to mention how much it shows in each "greesy-hollow" video

      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 TH-cam. The series was first posted a few years back on Facebook but at that time the TH-cam 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

    This video warms my heart tremendously💝💌💝💌💝 & tickled me so much. 😁
    This is my #1MOST favorite video out of "ALL" of the videos on ur channel. 💖💖💖
    John....its obvious that "mr. Ralphs
    friendship" means more to u than making money off videos/content on yt. 💕💖
    Ur such a very caring 💘generous freind 💞
    & anybody that watches ur videos with mr. Ralph surely can see how much ur visits with him mean to him. 😉
    He prob gets lonely since his wife is gone 💔 & talking with his girls is alot diff than having a man friend like u to talk with. 😊
    I can see the happiness in him in ur videos.
    I think he cld care less abt any money but I also think it tickled him wen u did give him that envelope of money. 😍😍😍
    He was sooo surprised! 😱
    It shows w him that he obviously enjoys "ALL" ur visits to greesy hollow. Pleaze keep making those mr. Ralph visits & also keep those videos comming! TYSVM for all ur hard work!😊
    (PS. "DONT" listen to the trolls/haters in the comments talking abt the money u pay him...its "NONE OF THEIR BUSINESS" 😉)

    M y earliest memories center around a coal or wood-burning stove and listening to the grown-ups tell stories. I think the idea of shooting some film in his old store would be very nice if it's not too much work for him. But, knowing him, he will have all those daughters and their kids helping. Would be nice if Tiffany and her new husband could also join you.

    Wow Facebook pays? I never knew. I knew TH-cam does. U just have to meet a certain criteria . Like so many subscribers and over so many views. Then they cut ya a check based on how many views . Yet there is way more to it then just tht. Either way I enjoy Ralph’s stories all the way from the rock tht sat outside his best friends place where he meet his wife to getting gas in his 90tys Ford F-150 the bums stole gas out of.
