Elly May Duke

Jed: yeah and i wish Granny hadn't of made Bo do it. Granny: well how do you feel now sonny?

so like it kind of started but that one episode was like it hit you. interesting.

Me too. evbody knows evbody and around here even today the little intersection near where i live is except for the one general store being gone . . . we had two one called Red's and another called Athur's General Store. Red's is gone but other than that our little intersection really has not changed since like 1950

Bo *coughs* wow . . .ahh

is that how you got into Dukes? i got into it cause i started watching videos on CMT not sure why but i just started watching it and my grandma was like we used to watch this and after about two episodes . . .okay so i always been a tomboy and knew people called my brother a redneck but that was when i decided yes i am a redneck and i'm gonna be one. i am not going to be a girly. no way. and when i got my first crush Bo Duke. true story also. yeah it also got me into offically country . . .before i never really knew music was just music. tho i listened to 97.3 my whole life. Dukes made me who i am too. not sure but this is weird we're both somewhat alike

what? the small town thing?

Me either. Reckon i'll come up with one.

Granny: Moonshine honey . . .you ought to know what that is. Luke: We do our Uncle Used to make it all the time but we never drank it before Daisy: I don't care, just do something Luke. Bo's over here like he's dying

agreed. the only thing that i ever got into other than country was this one CD my mom got me once from a christian rock, it's okay and i kind of like it but not to say like casually that i like it. i have had people tell me before that i'm wrong and rock and rap and stuff does have a message, but here's my thought if they do then why do they write it so you can't understand one word? and from the little that i've at least been told (mostly overhearing kids in school) what message does like killing a police man or cutting your mama's head off have and yes i have actually heard these actual topics. . .scary beyond belief

I think so. i will say it makes me sad that around here and almost everywhere there is no such thing as a small town anymore but around here they have started building more railrad tracks and to me that says country kinda like the mountains or atleast the way things used to be. used to be a railroad track through the middle of our town . . .it gone but there's still an old box car

Granny: here honey *hands Bo her jug* just a little sip now Jed: Granny

I know i mean correct me if i'm wrong but if any like say rapers or hip hop or even rock to say . . .if they put emotion into it i don't see it. country i can it is there. i mean like to say in my opinion Bluegrass is the truest form of music there is. purely on emotion and life and stuff. country is slightly moving away from that but even so 95 or more percent from life and stuff

Odd. My grandaddy had four brothers and two sisters my grandma was an only child My dad had one brother who has one daughter My mom had a sister who died in a train accident and a brother who has two sons

Bo: *breathes hard* I'm trying Daisy *squeezes her hand* It hurts too much Daisy: Ouch! Luke do something

took the words from my mouth. absolutely the truth. i mean even my friend who is well not really my friend now he moved but he says he likes country . . .Racal Flatts and mostly girls . . .hates Alan Jackson and can't even give me a reason . . .and Charlie Daniels because he can't play his fiddle right. He plays fiddle rather orchestra fiddle (or if ya a high class person violin) and he told me the same thing like three or four times and everytime i tell him no it not and then basically what you said country is all about life . . .so well. how many other types of music do you know that follow that? i don't. why i love country

lol we need a new topic here . . .you got any?

this is weired cause Lee Otis was on my dad's side too. lol on my moms side all i ever knew is my grandma and grandpa. my great Uncles and my Grandma's ma. i have a lot more family on my dad's side that are still alive and that i know

Bo: Luke *winces in pain* my head hurts so bad

Yeah. i mean . . .don't know bout you tho Va is north to you but . . .okay here's wher it starts i had a teach in 9 grade who was from NY and he was such a bad teacher. He thought we were all lazy and not real smart. and get this he doesn't understand why we would eat sweet potatoes? the whole class stared at him. and he thinks country is stupid. i mean correct me if i'm wrong but country is not all truck broke down dog ran away girl friend blah blah blah. So well i not sayin i'm gonna be mean to them but i do have a certain feeling toward the north now . . .they don't know what southern hospitality is . . .tsk tsk

Yeah i think we learn it almost every year . . .more or less, but anyhow. still doesn't change the fact how weird the mason dixon line is weird

Jed: Well . . .I reckon not too much.

me too. i can be purdy stubborn too. especially when it comes to old southrn ways

Yeah course i never knew him. when my brother was born all five generations of my family was alive and well when i was born let's just say that to current there are like three generations (i think) anyhow. a lot of them that i never knew

Jed: i see. Well i reckon you might only have a vauge understanding of this but i lost the love of my life not but two days after Elly was born. I miss her everyday and Elly bein a xact image of her ma doesn't make it any easier. Daisy: Yeah. i see. Lost my parents when i was only six. Elly's lucky she still has you. all three of us lost our parents when we were young. We were raised by our Uncle Jesse. Tho what does this have to do with me and Enos?

me either. when i was little and they used to tell us bout Civil War in history i would come home all the time and i was like how on earth is Va in the south. i mean if you look at the map from like TN to at least half the country there is a line there like trace it and Va is perfectly on top of it. but anyhow i'm glad Va is part of the south even if i still think it's odd
