They did mention it. This is only a 3 minute excerpt from the program, of mainly just the performance. The whole Omnibus program can be found in its entirety elsewhere on RUclips.
As a cousin of good ol Doc, I love and appreciate this here. I've lived within 5 miles of where he was born and lived most of my life. It's my understandin that his Daddy and my great grandpaw was brothers. He was around when I was little, but unfortunately I was too little to have known him personally. A man named Fred Price used to play fiddle some with Doc and Fred's son went to a church my Dad pastored when I was in elementary school. I have loved and still love bluegrass, bluegrass gospel, country and gospel music as well as good ol Appalachian (that's pronounced apple-at-chan fer you yankees) folk music. In all my listenin, I don't think I've found as gooder story teller fer singin nor as cleaner chorder fer pickin as ol Doc. The olduns is a leavin out folks. It's a sad commentary, but it's the truth. Taint sad on account of em a leavin. What's sad is the ones they left behind ain't done no parentin to raise ones to replace em. I'm 28 and I thank The Almighty God that I've been raised to be a man, a lion fer The Lord in a world of sheep and a worker, but I'm plumb ashamed of my generation and them what's bringin up the rear. No backbone. No kindness. No maturity. No emotional control. Chips on their shoulders. Feelins on their sleeves. Holes in their heart. Believin everything but what's the truth and a callin IT a lie. Sayin men can be women and women can be men. Can't even define what neither one is. Some gone so far as to claim that they "identify" as animals and a demandin to have litter boxes supplied fer em. 🤢🤮 Some folks sayin they just can't understand to save they're life how it got this way. HA! I can tell y'all God's honest truth of how it got this way. Parents quit bein PARENTS and not only that, but forsaken their Creator, His holy King James Version word and His teachins to boot! It begins at home folks. A tree don't grow from the leaves down. It grows from the roots up.
I grew up right down the mountain from you in McDowell county, pretty country up there in the Highlands, always loved going up there to visit relatives and families in mountain City, TN, we would cruise through Boone and sometimes stop over at grandfather mountain just to climb up top and see if them old mountains had changed any since the last time we were up there. Good memories, I sure miss Appalachia.
This case was still in my law books in the 1980s when I was in law school: Dula Vs North Carolina and the fact pattern pretty much laid out the story of the song. Doc Watson recorded this song as Tom Dooley. That was on the 1964 solo album DOC WATSON released on Vanguard Records. You might still be able to find that version. I heard him live at the Ash Grove on Melrose Ave in L.A. and he sang it as Tom Dula.
The first lady to speak wearin the toboggan thing is Doc's cousin Willard Watson's wife, Ory. The next lady is Doc's wife Rosa Lee which wrote a few songs. I don't know if she wrote em FOR him, or he just ended up bein the one to sing em and record em, but Randy Travis recorded em. Wish I knew which ones.
I live off the road this murder happened and I sing the same song except I change every tom dulla " dulley" to "Anne Melton". These cops are crooked here. Ralph Garland Prestwood Jr (Rocky) has been selling meth out here for 20 years and they've never harmed a hair on his head.
What surprises me is that they don't mention that Doc has this story on pretty good authority. His mother was a Dula.
His grandpa was at the hanging as well.

Do you know the spot she was killed? I was out there last weekend driving the area.
Cool
Most likely indeed it was anne melton, Laura Foster's cousin

Nobody ever mentions ol' Pearline that caused it all.
