I agree! Exactly the way I still live today. My wife always loved the beach but as the old saying goes, I wouldn't hit a hog in the _ss with the beach!lol
I just hope Ol Ralph is still with us. You must have loved your conversations with him.
Yes he is dong fine. Hope to start making new videos with him soon.

I just recently found your channel and I've binged wztch almost all of them. I love all of them but the ones with Mr. Robertson and Doug and Jenn are some of my favorites. I hope you have made some more with Mr. Robertson because I just love him. He reminds me of my Dad.
Im very happy you have enjoyed the videos. Thanks for the comment! I appreciate the support greatly. I post daily content on The Appalachian Channel Facebook page, if you would like to see more. What state are you watching the videos from?
God bless Ralph and his family 🙏
Texas. Great times and I can attest to the hard ones too. Good Man. 😇😇😇😇
You got that right!
For the people that don't know the older folks including my grandpa .the skunks were called pole cats
Mr. Robertson reminds me so much of my grandpa. He’s been gone since 1994. I think he was almost 70 when he passed. They talk just alike.Hearing his story talking about wrecking the bicycle reminds me of hearing how my grandpa would get liquored up and get in a pen with a bobcat he’d caught and catch it again with his bare hands. Lol. He was a WW2 veteran and tough as an old lighter knot lol. This generation is truly the greatest! Much love from Alabama!
Thank you so much for watching my videos and making a comment, I love to hear what people have to say. What state do you watch my videos from? John

These people are just the sweetest people I've ever came across on TH-cam, Ralph is so sweet, reminds me a lot of my Daddy, he passed away in 2008 and my Momma on Dec 4th 2021 and my only sibling my Brother in 2012 so my little Family is all gone ..hugs from Wisconsin 😊🤗
Thanks for watching
That’s a good video I’ve watched it several times
Thanks Ralph.
I do genealogy work from home. All I do is watch youtube in the background. I've only been watching your channel for a few days. I enjoy them. Especially Ralph. His memory is better than mine. I'm 35+/- years younger.
That is awesome! thank you for the comment
@@theappalachianchannel btw., Iowa here.
@tom
Rite...mine too n 52yo myself....luv mr. Ralph stories!
I loved Ralph and loved when you visited him
Luv these videos...watching fr ohio.
Hello Again Sheila, thank you so much for making comments on all the videos that you watch of mine.. I love hearing what you think about each video...
R.I.P Ralph you will always be missed
He reminds me so much of my daddy.
We didn't have a bathroom or even running water when we first moved in the old house I grew up in. My Dad and me would pee off the porch or walk out in the yard at night. Mom and my sister used "the pot." Which was cleaned and disinfected everyday. My Mamaw kept on under her bed. To her it was a "slop jar!"lol
Lisa is a beautiful person inside and out... but the whole family is really awesome... wished more people was like them then the world would be a better place.!!
I'm new to watching your videos and I'm glad that I found your channel . I really like watching them !!!!

Some really great video interviews and content. Wished i grew up in places like greasy holler or the surrounding areas back then. It was harder times probably,But better times seems like as they talk about their life stories growing up.I was born in 67 and in Ca. Unfortunately. .🤔🤷♂️
wow amazing R.I.P RALPH!
Love it
You are a wonderful mess. Love it.😂
Need to bring lil moonshine see if we can get em on bike one more time
Ralph seems like a cool old dude
If he is still alive, I hope you show him his videos.
Amazing 💪👍👍👍☺️
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
