E 31 A Spring Day Out to Meet New friends

A Spring Day Out to Meet New friends
This episode was filmed on a beautiful Spring day in late April, 2022. When you watch the videos of Ralph they are real and not scripted so I never know what we will film for sure. Sometimes I have a plan of what I would like to do that day but it all depends on what Ralph feels like doing. I had wanted to work on Ralph’s 4-wheeler again but he wasn’t in the mood for messing with it on this visit. We end up at Pickers Paradise where Doug and Jennifer Seals are renovating the old tobacco warehouse flea market. The see more about what’s going on at Pickers Paradise you can watch the new series that I have started about it by clicking the link below.
Make sure to leave us a comment we love hearing from everyone…

[@georgehutcheson9679]

I was born in 1961 and raised up in the Mountains of Western Md. And we ate little Debbie cakes and pies ever since we was kids. And Pickled eggs, Pickeled pigs feet, and regular pickles was something we'd buy at our little corner Markets sitting on the countertops growing up. My Dad was born in 1936 Mom in 1928 so we grew up old school in a house that looked really similar to that house in the picture. 🇺🇸🙏🇺🇸

We are watching from the Lehigh Valley, PA! That’s about an hour north of Philadelphia. We love Little Debbies, too, but our health wouldn’t take eating them daily!! Just curious if anyone from this area has sent you Tastykakes. Similar type of sweet treats - baked. They have more variety than Little Debbies, but are only sold in the PA and surrounding areas. LMK, I’d be more than happy to send you some if you have a PO Box. We love Ralph and his simple purity! Jen and John ❤

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