Wonderful video! always great to hear more about Red's life. That tune at the end was one of Red's compositions called "Grassy Creek" for anyone who was wondering.

I enjoyed this, Elizabeth. I like yer story and your style 👌.

Yep.There are things you need around the house and farm that you cant go and buy!

Rip popcorn Sutton you were a legend, thank you for teaching mark and digger they carry your torch to this dad, your legacy will live on through them.

So wonderful

I worked for David Sawyer Sr. in the early 1970s as an apprentis making laderbacks. He was a terrific natural teacher. These Windsors ARE beautiful.

I built one of your chairs and it turned out great, I loved every minute. I enjoy your vids and believe you are a true craftsman.

It's one thing to devote your life to a craft, it's quite another to teach others that craft to give them the same life.

Every time I hear this song I cry for popcorn an for his wife 😭 R.I.P. popcorn. Fuck you is right to say

Great!

Sure glad I found this video. Clearly incorporating glass and clay invigorates the metal in a way that I cannot achieve with patinas, so just as clearly I have a lot of learning to do. Thanks!

This man was(and is) a legend.Wonderful job with this song,your pretty & very talented.Popcorn lived and died his way,I respect the hell outta that!And I love the headstone,"Popcorn say"s" When I'm told something I don"t like ,I alway"s use that line.

"I don't do too many things on purpose" perfectly describes the sculpture I forged yesterday! Thanks for giving me the words, and for the inspiration.

It’s interesting to see plows on Mt Mitchell and the parkway down to NC-80. Maybe this is how things used to be. These days, the slightest gust of wind or rain even when the temps are in the 40s up there - as soon as the tourists have gone in early November - everything shuts (especially Asheville to Blowing Rock), so no need to plow. Same for pretty much the whole BRP. It’s a shame too for us locals (am in AVL) as we prefer it when it’s not touristy. To be fair, I presume budgets are far less now than they were when this was filmed, and it’s dangerous work. Maybe if we start charging tourists to use the Mt Mitchell park roads (and the parkway), more $ will be around for maintenance and things like this. For snow in winter, I tend to go up to Carver’s Gap near Roan Mountain. Regular state roads up there, but note the NC side is usually cleared well if there’s snow. The TN side - not so much.

Thanks for putting up your Red Wilson material. I was fortunate enough to visit Red on a number of occasions and made some audio tracks of him at impromptu sessions at his house. I didn't own a video camera at the time buy fortunately my wife was a photographer so we do have stills. There are several of the audio tracks here on You Tube. If you have more please keep them coming.

I can attest that popcorn likker was second to none. Allie sure does look like her mom

We miss you “Popcorn”

I like that Curtis came up totally away from the Dunbar branch of the tree. I spoke at length ...( I was a Windsor chairmaker for a long time)....for about an hour on the phone . Very nice guy. I live near David Sawyer , and had the pleasure of sitting in one of Curtis's chairs.

I can’t speak for all the folk in Alabama, but as for me he was a legend.

Brought tears to my eyes thanks for this

This was great! Thank you.

Love the fact you want to keep it still alive.

Awesom video!

Popcorn Sutton was a very good moonshine maker in the hole wide world everyone

I like that you do not need the wheel...or a kilim

" damn if I wouldn't do it bigger and better " 🥃 I'd say his still Elvis was pretty damn big . 😎

One of my favorite fiddlers there is. Red, Lester mccumbers, tommy jarrell, Kenny baker, and other old timers. The real old stuff. Thanks for recording this video for those likeminded like me who hope to keep sharing and playing old time Appalachian music like this for a real long time to come. From a fellow North carolinian born and raised in the good ole south. Good work

Salute to you Mr. Thomas, Thank you for all your hard work and dedication. Loved the video.

Ever time I hear this song it makes me put up my glass and cry a little bit coz a real moonshiner is up there in heaven making what he truly loved doing R.I.P. POPCORN you will be missed

I just love the point of view Curtis has. The uncompromising take on life! Finding what you can do thats useful, pleasing tome and to anyone who recieves it. Knowing that what you put out is top notch, so you can walk away and that person will not have to call my work into question. Ever.

Your chairs are piece of art flowing through your love of craft. Thanks

Beautiful work. Got the book "Linquist Legacy" for Christmas...Beautiful
