He was a real character that's for sure. Some more of that old time mountain knowledge had gone on and left us. Ain't too many of them old birds left that know how to make shine the right way.

On that link it said thanks to the FBI for putting time into busting popcorn for making moonshine. Maybe im crazy but I think there is prolly more important things out there right now the FBI could be focusing on. Rather than an old man out there making the GOOD stuff!

Thats to bad, I watched him on the history channel. It was very interesting how he made his moonshine. Should of just left the old boy alone. He wasent hurting anyone.
