Doodle Thrower & Golden River Grass: Mountain Dew (1982)

[@u4dawgs]

Thank you for posting this. "Strawberry" Tipton was my father. He passed away in 1985 and was buried on my 23 birthday. I'm now 51 years old now and I cannot believe there is video that has this kind of quality from that far back. I showed this to my boys last night who never met him and had never seen a video of him. It was a special time for me to share with them. Thank you!!

[@olivetg1]

I knew Strawberry, I was a great, kind and good person and never had any harsh words about anyone. What an old soul.

[@MADHATTER1945]

[@skybee6]

Talented!! Strawberry was my grandpa. I never met him, he passed in 1985. I think my dad still has his banjo.

[@mattlohr]

One of my favorite music performance videos on all of KZbin. These guys are so much fun to watch, they're having so much fun, and they're GOOD.

[@changsau]

[@timjackson1618]

Momma and Daddy talked about Strawberry a lot ,,,,,said he was my cousin,,,,only met him once when I was young.,,,,,did he work for the sheriff department if so then thats him. Last time I saw him was when aunt Jan passed away. Daddy passed in 90 and I'm 58 now....miss those days.

[@u4dawgs]

Hi Tim, Yes, he worked for the Hall County Sheriff's Department for about 16 years.

[@1439of2000]

I grew up in Oakwood and I’m glad to see this music happening right up the road.

[@rickevans7941]

Best cover of all time lmao #1 banger from some good ol boys what a hot track! Silly ol' mook MC and a ft. from musical genius fruit. Get it strawberry hahah

[@TEXASFENDERBENDER]

LOL The Sex Idol of Dahlonega!! Greatness!

[@blizakebowman]

My father was born and raised across the state line in Muscadine, Alabama and I was to a lesser extent raised there as a young boy. We would travel into Tallapoosa for groceries and such from time to time. My uncle Harvey ran the pool hall there as well. Life happens and we traveled the world but my dad retired back to Tallapoosa and owns a shop on Head Avenue. To this day, there's still a picture of Doodle Thrower outside on the wall. A true treasure. What a musician and a great man.

[@R.S.407]

tell me your foots not tapping,just love this

[@1bnjr]

This is one of my favorites!! I love it!!

[@mrskota1]

Delightful and crazy, what more can you ask for?

[@mindisaction]

[@bluesharp59]

Nice video and you got my thumbs up.

[@Mazblues]

Great great stuff here - now that's what I call a real classic. Just a few weeks ago I'd been swayin to Joe Filisko & Eric Noden performing this tune live, this is such a treat, thx a bunch fellas!

[@michaellorah9051]

I've heard plenty of different versions of this song, and in my experience it just doesn't seem complete without that harmonica.

[@tobyb.3323]

Man i have no connection to the Appalachia folk. But these silly hill billys grew on me. Respect!

[@olivetg1]

There will never be another Doodle...

[@steverson01]

a tribute to someone who like a father to me, Gene Daniel. May he rest in peace.

[@TheMakemFolksinger]

[@billgoldenmusic]

Are we going to ignore the fact that the man wore an actual strawberry on his hat? 1:04

[@skybee6]

Bill Golden Somebody gave it to him as a gift. He was called Strawberry cause of his hair. That was my grandpa.

[@billgoldenmusic]

@@skybee6 I love it. Your grandpa was the man.

[@firdausHITMAN]

Well spotted. The singing is definitely live, maybe they couldn't find a cable for the mic or used it elsewhere, does seem strange though.

[@SallyCanWait1996]

america summed up in one video

[@thorny6021]

The music and musicianship from the hills has always been exemplary. The people? Not so much. Isolated geographically, mentally and socially with little curiosity or desire to know or understand anyone or anything outside their very small bubble. They are not the “informed populace” the founders hoped would be the citizens who vote. They vote from ignorance and prejudice towards anything new or progressive.

[@Elvenlord4]

Bullshit

[@ReverendBen]

Didn't know they made brushes this wide

[@crossedtheline87]

You sir are the ignorant one. These guys were all very intelligent musicians.

[@steverson01]

great music.
