I purchased a martin warthog bow a year or so ago. I have been told its in very good condition but was missing some stuff. I picked up the 8 arrow quiver but I had to purchase another old bow to get it but it is the correct one at least. A friend of mine brought me s martin deerslayer sight and I put a new arrow rest on it too. Was wondering if anyone knows exactly what sight was used on the one in the show? I got the 3 pin deerslayer sight on it now and it looks good but I don't think that was the one. Definitely a cool old school wood bow. Just trying to get as close as I can to the one on the show.

Watched the very first episode in January 1979. I was 4 years old. Man that was a long time ago

Well I haven't been here in a bit. The business we opened up wound up doing very well but taking up a lot of time as well but it is what it is. Wanted to answer the question that it isn't the one in north Carolina. I live in a small town called Plainville in Georgia, its between Rome and Calhoun. The garage/boars nest im talking about is just outside of Shannon ga towards Kingston Ga. The guy has a General Lee, a 69 F350 cooters tow truck, a daisy jeep and a hazzard patrol car. The garage is awesome and the boars nest is built to the RH side of the garage. Has the correct jukebox and pinball machine as seen from the show. Even has the machine that has the huge bands that Boss Hogg was using to shake the fat away lol. It's really neat how far he has put into it as in detail. He also has a toy section and there is alot of cool stuff there too.

To be honest, I'm not much of a drinker, and if I have a pint it's likely to be lager or maybe ale. I don't dislike Guinness, and it does taste different here, but I can't remember the last time I had one. My friend likes the 0.0 alcohol-free Guinness which I might try sometime since I usually have my car with me.

I think I'd have to agree. Maybe you'll like the vocals more in this one. It was on the soundtrack of the 1991 Steve Martin movie 'LA Story', hence the clips in the video. Enya - Exile

The countdown of the 100 greatest songs by Irish artists started on the radio today, and they got halfway with some of the songs I've posted recently already appearing. It'll conclude next Friday, and I'll let you know which ones made the list. In the meantime, here's a song by an Irish artist who wasn't mentioned in the build-up to the poll. Cathy Davey - Reuben While I was looking for the video above I came across a version in Irish (as Gaeilge) with a couple dancing. It's fun.

Thanks, Hobie. I've replaced your link with the alternate video. It's from a TV show, but I think they're just miming to the single. The one I posted was on their official YouTube channel, so I'm surprised it didn't work.

While I'm on Irish artists, I couldn't ignore Thin Lizzy. This song was written by the band's frontman Phil Lynott and guitarist Gary Moore about Lynott's newborn daughter. Phil died when I was 15, but I did get to see Limehouse Lizzy, the best known Thin Lizzy tribute act, about 25 years ago. Thin Lizzy - Sarah

Did you mean to put that in your Minor Mentions thread?

Back when the show was airing it was so popular that that it caused Friday Night Football attendance to drop across America. Nobody had VCRs so you only had one chance to see it and nobody knew DVDs would be invented. My girlfriend knew that we wouldn't be going out on any Friday night dates!

Hands up, I know nothing about archery, but I found a discussion about the Dukes of Hazzard bows at www.archerytalk.com. They said, "The original Warthog had a deerslyer [sic] 300 sight on it."

It's hard t believe you and John are the same age Roger! That's wild! You're about 6 1/2 yrs. older than me! I turn 61 on Aug. 31

same here, except I was 14!!

I was born the day John Schneider turned one week old so we both will be 66 next month. I was in the USMC stationed in North Carolina after getting out of boot camp in South Carolina. A lot of young Marines were talking about it so I watched it in the recreation room. I think it was Repo Men episode but I'm not positive. Been a superfan ever since. I'm glad it came out after boot camp so I can say I actually saw a Georgia episode on the night it debuted. (the ep, not the series). In boot camp we went 3 months without TV, radio, or a telephone. That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little.

I wish I could help you. It's so awesome you are replicating it. I have an Excalibur Axiom crossbow but have only shot it twice. Looks nothing like anything on Dukes. It's good to hear from you again.

I watched the A-Team save a mission yesterday. And at the end I saw something amazing. Miz Tisdale hugging Mr T. So cool! I wonder if he told her she had to take a number to get a hug.

After a last minute invite, I got to walk in the St Patrick's Day parade today. It's fun being in it, but it does mean that I didn't get to see many of the other participants. Luckily, the weather stayed dry, but it turned cold afterwards. Combine the cold weather with the busy pubs and I decided to delay my Guinness.

I'm thinking that I might try a Guinness today. I mentioned ale above - have you ever tried it, Hobie. I see they sell Smithwick's in 14.9 oz cans in the US.

The General Lee is the STAR of the show.

Here's another Irish musician who remains a perennial favorite. I've just realized that this song is slightly older than me! Van Morrison - Moondance

Hazzard County is a great PLACE to live.

Emma Tisdale must be Irish then.

I'll try to keep up the Irish songs until St Patrick's Day, but not all of the great artists make songs with single word titles. Here's a great song about resilience and unsung heroes. It seems to have been an inspiration to a lot of the commenters on YouTube. Lead singer Danny O'Donoghue also spent some time as a judge/coach on 'The Voice UK' alongside Jessie J, will.i.am and Tom Jones. When you've been fighting for it all your life You've been struggling to make things right That's how a superhero learns to fly Every day, every hour, turn the pain into power The Script - Superheroes I'm now going to break the one word rule because I wanted to post a second song by The Script as we used to sing it in the choir. This one is about a man waiting for a girl to return to the corner where he first saw her. Paradoxically, given the title, I find it rather moving! Going back to the corner where I first saw you Gonna camp in my sleeping bag, I'm not gonna move Got some words on cardboard, got your picture in my hand Saying, "If you see this girl, can you tell her where I am?" Some try to hand me money, they don't understand I'm not broke, I'm just a broken hearted man I know it makes no sense but what else can I do How can I move on when I'm still in love with you The Script - The Man Who Can’t Be Moved

Awakening was great! Beautiful music and women! Nothing beats an Irish Babe!

that one or Magnum PI's Ferrari 308

JUG of shine! Happy DOHD everybody!

the singing is so/so but I like the music! very....upbeat! I liked this! She's pretty good looking! ( She'll never beat Emma Tizdale but still...... )

Also Mr. Pruit's bull that chased Rosco and Enos!!

I can't post it here because Tír na nÓg is three words and this is One Word Song Titles. Celtic Woman aren't mentioned much back in Ireland, I guess because we have such a wide array of other great Celtic music to choose from. I see they're playing your state a few times in the next couple of weeks - are you going, Roger? Here's one of their songs that does have a single word title. Celtic Woman - Awakening

This band are from Mullingar in Co. Westmeath, a place more recently famous as the hometown of Niall Horan of One Direction. The Blizzards - Fantasy

I didn't see the video Hoss. It says " Video Unavailable." See if this one works.......

Brandy

Happy birthday Catherine! You still have many fans who love and appreciate you!

Its like I talked to cousin Roger once on the phone and he said I have a deep Southern accent but I told him , " Hey, I don't have the accent, you've got the accent....lol! Remember that one Cousin Roger?

Do I have a British accent? Well, yes I do, but which one? Here's a selection of some of the accents you could hear if you visited the British Isles.

Another Minor Mention ( sighting?) is Jack Field....his mailbox was run over by Rosco and Boss in " Enos In Trouble" S.5 Ep. 9

I went to my local Antique store the other day and I found a Now or Never record for $8 so ofc I bought it!! I can't send a pic because im on mobile but it sounds really nice!!

Another Irish band, and this one's a family - three sisters and a brother. The Corrs - Breathless

Extremely late to this, do you still have it?

That's so cool that you saw the original episode on the first night....even though you were little. I was just thinking.....was Repo men the first episode? I thought it was " One Armed Bandits"....????......just asking....

I am always amazed at you Hoss. There is nothing you can't do on a computer.... except jump a creek with the sheriff chasing you.

Which Do I Go (Now That I'm gone) https://youtu.be/GuLlEm9jBig?si=pO8qICbSuU09NEkW

Right now, I'm watching Trump and Fox News and looking at our site.....I'll be watching Duke boys here in a bit when I go to bed. OH....and of course you know I'm communing with the spirits.....Natural Ice.....I can sleep in, a little tomorrow......wife doesn't have to be at work but she has a Dr's appt. at 10 in Cookeville...so....I'm still looking forward to doing what all decent Hazzardites will do tomorrow.....on DOHD.....watch TDOH, especially tomorrow night.

This is very funny in CMT Inside Fame The Dukes of Hazzard. Balladeer:"When it came time fer Ben Jones to audition fer Cooter, all he had to do was roll outta bed." 😂

I'll take a quick break from Irish artists for this pioneering 1995 Eurodance/dream trance/ambient house track by Italian DJ/composer Robert Miles. Robert Miles - Children The piano melody was sampled in this 2023 track bringing the tune to a new generation. Luckily, this also has a single word title. Switch Disco ft Ella Henderson and Robert Miles - REACT

And that was a compliment! I love a southern accent. My favorite singers are Charlie Daniels and Loretta Lynn. I always wish the Dukes had accents that were more southern sounding but they probably couldn't find enough actors. Sonny is southern but your accent is way better than his. If I ever moved South I'd have an accent in a few days. It's such a natural relaxed way of talking.

Irish women are hot! They sound good too!

It's the same building, and it appeared many times. If you check out the Hazzard Square thread, it was located on French Street behind the court house. I labeled it #25, although the building shown on the aerial view is the replacement constructed between 1997 and 2000. It was the Hazzard Impound Yard in 'The Sound of Music - Hazzard Style' - see here, and if you scroll down that page you can see it as Boss' car lot from 'Share and Share Alike'. Scroll down further and you can see it as the Apex Rent-A-Truck office from 'Coy Meets Girls'. In 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Reunion!' TV movie the building was Red Perkins' garage (run by his daughter, Mavis) - see here. The building was replaced sometime before 'The Dukes of Hazzard: Hazzard in Hollywood'.

Yes! Life is good once more. This ain't the same place without Garrett!

my story of cooter & his wife beverly that the producers VERY RUDELY didn't include . (just so you know, i like to make old shows&movies be more modern in my imagination, which is what i've done in this one) When cooter davenport was 17,he eloped with Beverly hibbs who was 15. They were originally in Alabama, but went to Georgia. She decided cooter wasn’t marure enough, so she went back to her parents(matt & kylissa). Then she found out she was pregnant. Cooter found out but foolishly decided he should stay away. on 2-6-99 nancy lou was born. Beverly got remarried in 2001 to tyler nelson, and nancy lou received her step dad’s last name. Tyler and Beverly had 3 sons together, Richard in 2005, and twins named bryan & matthew in 2008. Cooter started a mechanic shop in 2002 & got a farm in 2009. Beverly & her family live in Burnsville,Alabama in a green double wide manufactured home. Their address is 290 crowant street. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Nancy doesn’t live with her family anymore, she shares an apartment with her friend carryanne colben. The rent is 720, nancy does 400 of it. Her 1 st car was a silver 92 olds cutlass supreme coupe, that she got when she was 19; she got a drivers license when she was 17 & drove her parents red 70 ford Ltd. she got a “hand me down” phone from her dad that qualifies for reddit’s r/redneckengineering, it was an at&t ZTE “qwerty style” that had duct tape as the battery cover, She now uses another “hand me down” LG G3. Her phone number is 256-403-7722. The address where nancy & carryanne live is 8505 w. moritz avenue, unit 4.
