@@jamescollins1578 I live in Waynesville,nc (Haywood ,Co) I would see Popcorn all the time a the Maggie Valley Restaurant "Carvers". He would tell me the dirtiest jokes you've ever heard. And i would see him at MAST General store on Main st in Waynesville. We both had an addiction to Braches Sour balls. He would use them and Shine to make Cough syrup.😁 We hear are very proud that the most Famous Moonshiner is from NORTH CAROLINA ! Not Tennessee or Kentucky. They make some great stuff like Makers Mark, Jim Beam. But Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton made the best Apple Likker on the Planet. PERIOD. Good Vibes 👣

He took in my wife when she was a child to watch over and protect. Her parents had a crazy relationship, her dad was a violent drunk and her mom was too scared to leave. Her mom, Nancy, took her, Christy, up to Popcorn's. He watched her, fed her, clothed her, and treated her like gold, for what my wife remembers as a summer roughly. She said he was a funny man that loved to have her laughing too. She always felt safe there, and that was a rarity in her life up to that point. Her mom is gone now, so his her dad, so we can't get more details than that unfortunately. It would have been in the late 70's to early 80's. He probably lived in east Tennessee at the time, as that's where were all from. I've heard Cosby and Parrottsville both as potential places. If anyone who knew him then, remembers a little blonde haired girl staying with him for a bit, we'd love to hear any stories you might have. Thank you Popcorn for being there for them when I couldn't be. I was just a child myself, but I still feel like I should have been there. RIP to who I see as a kind soul. The world may think of him as a moonshiner because that's all they know about him, but because what I know of the man I think of him as a guardian of my wife when she was a child. He was there when I couldn't be, so I am eternally grateful. Ironically, the police never did much of anything, as they knew her daddy. Funny how the "outlaw" was doing the job that the "law" should have handled. You may or may not like the man over what he did for money. I understand that, you can feel however you want. But, you're a piece of work if you don't see him a bit differently after reading how he helped the child version of my wife and mother-in-law out. We are all more than what we do for a living!

He paid taxes. On his copper, sugar, corn, gasoline, jars. If anything he overpaid. He didn't use the generator gas and cooking gasoline for traveling down the road, so he paid unnecessary road taxes. The only thing not taxed was his work. It makes the federal government angry when they can't make you give them your work. In their minds they own all of us. Chew on that for a little while, and come back and tell me how you feel about THAT.

Popcorn Sutton was one of the very best modern day Moonshine distillers who ever lived. His technique and recipe, according to him, goes back 100 plus years. It's really neat to see Moonshine get made in the old fashioned way with the same type of antique style equipment. We are really getting a special treat by getting to see a legendary Moonshine expert at work, being a master of his craft. A friend of mine who has tasted Moonshine actually made by Popcorn Sutton said that it was among the very best available. Some people believe that when Popcorn Sutton passed away, the making of the best Moonshine died along with him. Rest in peace Marvin "Popcorn" Sutton (1946-2009)

He never actually had recipes. Things varied at all times. His true passion was being left alone to do it old style like they did as he was taught as a child. It's definitely a lost art. . . . For instance his son SOLOMON was on Moonshiners with a few fellas and didn't know to toss heads. . . . So I'd say some rare secrets to the still have indeed died with the legend.

I've had popcorn bring it to me right up on stage! Instead of a banjo or a guitar, I was playing a fleet of really high-tech synthesizers, about 11 of them! Popcorn called them all a gigantic Pie anna! He'd bring it right up to me on stage, in front of a couple of thousand people and said," here boy ,this'll make you play that Pie anna really great!" He was the closest thing I know to a rockstar!, just hanging out with him made you a better person! I was a classical musician and a rock musician musician from Asheville and knew nothing about bluegrass music, until I was introduced to popcorn when I played the Spring House. I was amazed that he would hold court all day long ,all kinds of musicians would come over to see him to pay homage to him, starting early in the morning! It's true, Popcorn never let his Celebrity Status get to his head, that's not to say that he couldn't ham it up for a camera, he knew people really liked him and he also felt a responsibility to be an ambassador of sorts, edumacating people about the mountain culture of the 20's and 30's! He was priceless Americana! Popcorn was right, after a couple of shots of his elixir I could really play that Pie anna! Lol😮

Well I hope you see where your big gov is takeing things. These are people that where used to doing everything themselves. Their food, their stuff, most of the stuff they had they made themselves and of course their medicine and recreation. Then the government decides it likes the tax it gets on whiskey and sees people who are self sufficient who make their own as a threat to their revenue. Like a gang. So they heavily criminalize something that was just simply a normal part of mountain life and mountain community. You think the scotch Irish settlers where all the way up in the holler because they liked people telling them what to do in the first place? It seems not even the most ardent independant isolationist are spared from tyranny. Especially now. They makeing us dependant and building a global totalitarian digital prison world. Well I'm glad popcorn has passed on. He what hate to see where this is going to lead us.

I met Popcorn Sutton, and he was manerable. Not until a few hours later, did I hear what folks said his main job was. However, it was his bragging to an "Undercover Agent" that got him caught. He was aways SO careful WHERE he put his stills(out of sight,) and then bragged to the unknown Agent. When you make Likker, first rule of thumb...1) Trust NO strangers or people whom you don't know their background. 2) Keep your mouth shut. Your mouth can UN-DO everything you have done. Also, if he'd stayed in N.C., he would have never been caught. Too many people looked out for him. TN was an entirely different story. The Officials there got it in for Popcorn, and weren't going to stop until they caught him. HE just made it finally possible for them, and led them STRAIGHT TO the Likker, supposedly to buy some of it. With all the murder, stealing, rape, etc..going on, the years spent and money spent trying to catch a MOONSHINER was ridiculous!

idk what 'he forgot about 99' means, but in 'the last one' (i think it's called), which was filmed in 02 or 03, he says he hadn't made moonshine since 97 because he got into legal trouble for it in 98. how that works idk, but that's what he said.

This guy reminds me of my OG Bobby. He was 87 years old looked like your typical white grandpa but could get his hands on any drug I could possibly want. He wasn’t no bum either, he retired from oak ridge where they made the fuel for the nuclear bomb they dropped in Hiroshima and said they were trying to figure out how to treat cancer and were purposely giving dogs leukemia..saw a lot of things in his life. He was loaded but lived in a little trailer out here in Nashville and drove an 86 maxima..I was throwing parties to make money and he supplied me with moonshine from someone he knew in the smoky mountains out here in TN. I have never had anything like it again, it literally tasted like apple juice with no burn whatsoever but 2 shots would have a person with a high tolerance completely wasted. He got me the gallon for 40$ and I would sell it for 5 bucks a shot. Made so much money I stopped counting the shots at a certain point lol he died in 2021, man I miss you Bobby you were the realest man I have ever met and I will never forget you.
