Thanks for the comment and watching the video. It was a great honor for me to make almost 40 videos with Ralph Robertson that I filmed over a two year period. Since his passing in December they have been a surge in his video views here on RUclips. The series was first posted a few years back on Facebook but at that time the RUclips Channel only had about 2k subscribers. Now that I’m at over 100k subs “The Greasy Hollow Memories” videos have found a whole new audience.. Come along with me to Greasy Hollow, Tennessee and meet a real Appalachian storyteller that became a living legend. Below is a link to the Greasy Hollow Memories series if you would like to watch more. John Ward ruclips.net/p/PLhiXVG-s0EOmwKTuG8AZ4_qRBG88DxNtL
Ralph is one of a kind. He is still sharp in his mind for someone his age. He tells things like he sees them, like the color of your shirt John.😁 Much respect to his daughters for loving their dad the way they do and taking care of him. It is because of their caretaking and God's grace he has lived to be 97. Happy Birthday Ralph from north Florida 🎈
Happy 96th Birthday Ralph!! I always enjoy it when John & Jodi make sa visit with you for a spell! You're a remarkable man, & all 6 of your Daughter's are so sweet!! Thanks for sharing your life with us! I hope you have many more Happy Birthday's!! God is Great God'sSpeed Only A big thanks to the Appalachian Channel for making these great video!!!

We have found the secret to a long life. Chain smoke cigarettes, eat eggs, sausage and biscuits, cake, banana splits. I'm jealous. Happy birthday Ralph. Love the videos.😀
My husband and I absolutely love your videos of Ralph! We live in Eaton Ohio and made a trip to Greasy Hollow TN to see where Ralph lives and his old stomping grounds! We drove by his house and would’ve loved to meet him in person but would never ever interfere in his life privacy. We actually are in our way home right now! Thanks John for “introducing” us to Ralph, his girls and his life! Much appreciated ❤
Happy Birthday a day late Ralph! And thank you to John for stopping in and sharing Ralph and his daughters with us! Still praying for you John, that you get that real estate issue resolved in YOUR FAVOR! ❤
🎉🎉🎉Happy Birthday Mr Ralph Robertson 🎉🎉🎉 your doing great, it’s a beautiful thing to have your family and friends around. It is a pleasure watching you and listening to you sir!
Happy birthday sir! I'm 41 I'd give anything to hang out with you for a couple hours and smoke some cigarettes and drink a beer n hear you just talk about the things you've seen and done. Luckily I still have a lot of family left my Grandma had fourteen brothers and sisters and all of the boys fought between world war in Vietnam and sometimes I still think they're stronger than I am. I'm sure you could outwork about 50 people these people today. You're a National Treasure and your stories need to be in the library of Congress please tell us everything.. I would have loved to be able to see your life through a camera. We love you.❤

New Tazewell is a result of the railroad needing a place to put a depot that wasn't on a curve.
Ralph is one of a kind. He is still sharp in his mind for someone his age. He tells things like he sees them, like the color of your shirt John.😁
