    Thank you for posting this. "Strawberry" Tipton was my father. He passed away in 1985 and was buried on my 23 birthday. I'm now 51 years old now and I cannot believe there is video that has this kind of quality from that far back. I showed this to my boys last night who never met him and had never seen a video of him. It was a special time for me to share with them. Thank you!!

      I knew Strawberry, I was a great, kind and good person and never had any harsh words about anyone. What an old soul.

    My father was born and raised across the state line in Muscadine, Alabama and I was to a lesser extent raised there as a young boy. We would travel into Tallapoosa for groceries and such from time to time. My uncle Harvey ran the pool hall there as well. Life happens and we traveled the world but my dad retired back to Tallapoosa and owns a shop on Head Avenue. To this day, there's still a picture of Doodle Thrower outside on the wall. A true treasure. What a musician and a great man.

    The music and musicianship from the hills has always been exemplary. The people? Not so much. Isolated geographically, mentally and socially with little curiosity or desire to know or understand anyone or anything outside their very small bubble. They are not the “informed populace” the founders hoped would be the citizens who vote. They vote from ignorance and prejudice towards anything new or progressive.
