Here where I retired in TinyTown, central Midwest, I briefly met someone with a noticeable overseas accent from where I had no idea. But he was doing me a favor and I asked him what brought him to this blip on the road, from where? Big smile so he'd know I meant well. When he said South Africa, my jaw almost dropped. It was such a treat to be reminded that there's still a big wide world out there .... I used to be part of it. Anyway, glad you're enjoying JD's stories with us. He's a natiional treasure.
@@frostyfrances4700 oh wow. Thats amazing. South Africa has such a vivid history we have our own stories to tell. Sadly many are leaving due to violence and politics. But thank you for telling me. Its an indeed small world.
Oh JD! What a great story! The devil is a liar & the father of all lies!!! I’ve never ever heard anyone tell a story like you!! You are blessed with a wonderful ability to tell stories like no other!! Blessings always JD! ❤️✝️😊
@TheAppalachianStoryteller I believe your right on point. Nothing good has ever come from Alcohol unless your making it or selling it. You've never heard of anyone saying hold my peace pipe n watch this. Not going to lie that devil in a jug had me for a long time. No Alcohol here for 10 years now. Thanks for sharing. I live in Wilkes County by the Parkway. Lots of beautiful old chimneys standing still.
That’s a good one! Nobody in their right mind would ever want to make a deal with the devil. It always ends bad! 😂😂 Thanks JD. This one put a smile on my face on this dreary rainy day😂. More please 😂😂😂
This is a great story. The devil is the king liar. When something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. He should have never left that jug alone with his wife. The devil lied to her; but, it was only after he tempted her (with what looked like real money and gold) that she took out that cork. It took two women to put the devil in that jug, and only one to let him out. Now the devil is out, what will he do to the two women who put him in that jug (if they are still living)? Great story. We can't always believe what we see and hear.
That was an awesome story 👍 As soon as you said he left the jug with the woman I thought " NO! Go back and take the jug" lol I knew immediately they were going to end back up with nothing 🤷and hubby was just trying to get ahead, wifey was just plain greedy 👿
Another great video of days gone by but as long as you J.D keep doing the amazing work of telling our families stories our families will forever be remember and how you can survive most anything with faith and God !!!
We need more storytelling like this, JD. Hand to God, once way back b4 I retired to TinyTown where all 4 churches are hardly testaments to the gospel, I was heading across a courtyard real early b4 6 a.m. Mass; life was awfully hard right then, and I hurried for my little spot of refuge where nobody else in the congregation could even see me. Ahd I tell you true, that was the one time in my life I heard slewfoot loud and clear. "HAVEN'T YOU ALREADY PRAYED ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY?" You never saw anyone run for their pew so fast in your life! I was like lightning that day. Told my friend the priest about it later, and he thought it was the funniest thing he ever heard. But later when the church nursery was being redecorated and somebody had taken down an antique painting I loved of Madonna and Child, Fr. Bill said they were liable to throw it out so instead he declared me and my relatives in perpetuity the caretakers of said painting - since he'd get in trouble for just giving it away - and then he covered it up and took it out to my car for me with a zip-your-lip gesture. According to him, if anyone from the church ever misses it I might have to return it. But that was almost 40 years ago and I don't think they'll ever find me now since I've moved 3 times.
Great story. It reminds me of a big book of American Myths and Legends that I had as a kid. It was my favorite book. And...Next...the devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal.😂
Now this wouldn't have happened in Georgia. Cuz when the devil went down to Georgia he ran into a guy named Johnny.... and you know the rest. Thank you JD!
Don't ever mess with the devil, the man should've let that jug keep on going down the creek. Great story JD. I absolutely love all your stories, and your voice is addictive Your the best story teller ever.❤
What on earth is it with Morgan County?? it seems like the oddest things always happen there and they get hit by tornadoes a lot. Lol. Reckon that jug's still around down there?
I have to get me head into a certain creative space to see the world thru Mollys eyes in order to write her story. I haven't been able to finish her story, even after two writing sessions this week. Lots of folks have asked me to finish it, and I will and I will re-release the entire story as one video. Stay tuned@@schambers8301
I am a fiddle player, I taught high school orchestra for 22 years and have a bachelors, masters, and doctorate in music... but with that said... no I did not.
Love your story's! Both sides of my family come from Tennessee. Pretty sure to the Civil War and beyond! I can only imagine some of these stories could be about my own ancestors! Good going my friend!
Lord have mercy what a story JD!! Reminds me of a lesson that was learned in the first book of Genesis.... it'll cost you every time! Just ask mrs EVE... she'll tell you... loved it brother!!!...
Another true story from Appalachia. Well, maybe not ENTIRELY true. But it's a fact that you can make a deal with the devil, and sadly too many people today have done just that. This was a fun one JD.

Thank you!
Oh JD! What a great story! The devil is a liar & the father of all lies!!! I’ve never ever heard anyone tell a story like you!! You are blessed with a wonderful ability to tell stories like no other!! Blessings always JD! ❤️✝️😊
oh Betty, thank you so much! I always look forward to you kind comments, have a blessed day!
Excellent. These stories are so terrific. Thank you.
Thank you!
This story is so biblical, and it's the very struggle into which most, if not all, place themselves!
it is, if you really think about it... the jug was the apple

very well said my friend
Love it. Good story ❤
Thank you Carol!
JD as much as I hate to admit it, this story could only end one way. Thanks for great story telling.
haha! I know exactly what you mean
That was an awesome story 👍 As soon as you said he left the jug with the woman I thought " NO! Go back and take the jug" lol I knew immediately they were going to end back up with nothing 🤷and hubby was just trying to get ahead, wifey was just plain greedy 👿
😂 yup!
Guess they hadn't learned their lesson the first time-' Adam and Eve 😉 I wouldn't have opened that jug for all the money in the world.
@@aliceevans3357 me either lol greedy she was 🤑💰🤷I immediately thought of Adam and Eve too
What a great story! 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

Wow! Where did this happen!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller- It happened in SoCal many years ago, and I'm sooo glad it never happened again! Scared the you-know-what outta me.
Now I got to say JD, that was one heckuva story. It sure reminds me of a story I’ve been hearing on a Campaign Trail. Thank you JD.
Thanks Richard!
Great story. It reminds me of a big book of American Myths and Legends that I had as a kid. It was my favorite book. And...Next...the devil went down to Georgia looking for a soul to steal.😂
Thanks Michael, you y'all are doing well in your neck of the woods brother. Thanks for your support!
❤
❤️
Great story!
Thank you Tammy, have a blessed day!
Now this wouldn't have happened in Georgia. Cuz when the devil went down to Georgia he ran into a guy named Johnny.... and you know the rest.

What a story. Always look forward to listening to you. Thank you
Thank you Janet!
Bumfuzzled. Ain’t heard that in a while
😂
YOU ARE VERY WELCOME FOR MY COMMENT ❤❤
Great story I could just imagine old Dave walking through the creek and finding that jug
Yup 🏺
Don't ever mess with the devil, the man should've let that jug keep on going down the creek. Great story JD. I absolutely love all your stories, and your voice is addictive
Your the best story teller ever.❤
Thanks you Judy!
Another awesome tale bites the dust ❤🇨🇦👍
❤️
Now that was a migghty good story i sure enough enjoyed it
Thanks so much brother
Nice to hear and relax to. Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it Gumpy!
I love this story! Will send a thank you!
Thank you!
Lesson of the story is, don't bargain with the devil. If you do it will come back to bite you. But God will always do Right by you.
you got that right!
Always entertaining. Will you ever do tales of the old west and its professional killers?
yes I will, im gonna be branching out a lot this year
Afternoon, JD, what a pleasant surprise! My day was made when I saw your channel notification, friend! Lord willing I'll see ya Saturday morning.
I’ll see ya Saturday Scott!
That was a really good one, really good one. Poor Millie didn't know. 😂. Thank you for sharing this.
The classic ole tale of who can handle the devil better... a man or a woman?
Great story JD as always I’m waiting on the next one GOD BLESS
See ya Saturday
I don't guess she knew what happened when Eve believed the devil... 🫣
That was a wonderful tragicomedy, Appalachian style Thanks JD 😎👍
Well said Kathy, have a blessed day
Happy Wednesday! Story time.
Hey there Robbie!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller it’s a great story so far! Thank you!
Well this was a bit different but interesting.
glad you enjoyed it James, see you Saturday
What on earth is it with Morgan County?? it seems like the oddest things always happen there and they get hit by tornadoes a lot. Lol. Reckon that jug's still around down there?
Hey JD brother
👋
Can’t never trust the devil. He’s a liar and the father of it.
yes he is and greed seems to bring him around more often than not
That's for sure, don't do no good
When are you going to finish Molly's story
Im not sure, im still writing it.
I'm a big fan of yours and truly I'm waiting for the story to finish
I have to get me head into a certain creative space to see the world thru Mollys eyes in order to write her story. I haven't been able to finish her story, even after two writing sessions this week. Lots of folks have asked me to finish it, and I will and I will re-release the entire story as one video. Stay tuned@@schambers8301
Ol' Aesop didn't have nothin' on you 😂.
😂
hee-haw mountain dew, it'll tickle your innards
😂 yes it will!
@@TheAppalachianStoryteller make comment before listening to video ... as Gomer Pyle said:>- surprise, surprise, surprise ....
@@Paulftate 🤔... it's all good! We know that 'the Devil's jug' sure hadn't been used for toting holy water 🤣.
Well I'm halfway through the video. Now I'm saying it .... Where's them mushrooms? 😅😅
🤣
Do you play the fiddle in your stories? Like at the intro?
I am a fiddle player, I taught high school orchestra for 22 years and have a bachelors, masters, and doctorate in music... but with that said... no I did not.
Well, I really enjoy the fiddle music that you have in your videos.
key points here, jug ,cornfield, clear cold water... this is how someone explains to his wife he was making shine and blew up the still
Love your story's! Both sides of my family come from Tennessee. Pretty sure to the Civil War and beyond! I can only imagine some of these stories could be about my own ancestors! Good going my friend!
Thanks so much my friend!
Great show keep up the amazing work be safe my friends God bless all
God bless you my friend
425 # what happened after the jug was loose
blown up with the house
HAHA....what a great story. Thank you
Thank you!
Lord have mercy what a story JD!! Reminds me of a lesson that was learned in the first book of Genesis.... it'll cost you every time! Just ask mrs EVE... she'll tell you... loved it brother!!!...
Exactly Ronnie! It’s the old parable
This is a good version. I've. Heard many versions that are similar and they all make a smile and to be grateful for what you have.
❤️
Be greatful for what you have.
Amen
Another true story from Appalachia. Well, maybe not ENTIRELY true. But it's a fact that you can make a deal with the devil, and sadly too many people today have done just that. This was a fun one JD.
Happy you enjoyed it!
