All the Appalachian channels beat anything on the wretched, filthy Television of today. I love them. Let's face it how many episodes of Bonanza, Andy Griffith, and Gunsmoke can you watch over and over and over? These channels are better than anything Hollywood can conjure up to be sure.❤👍👍

This is where I come to when I’m a bit overwhelmed with life and I just want to say thank you because listening to you is very calming . Blessings to everyone with health and happiness 🙏🏼❤🙏🏼

I was raised in on the Cumberland plateau in the Adams, Cedar Hill area. Your stories are from the heart and always bring me back to the place I was raised. Thank You for seeing the good in people who were raised in places who others think are backwards. However, we know the truth of the matter! God Bless YOU!

These are best stories and refreshing to hear about real people and real life! Not the BS on the TV!

I absolutely love the Appalachian storyteller. I was born and raised in Georgia and these stories that you tell they're based on the truth remind me of my family and my grandmother and grandfather my 19 aunts and uncles and all my cousins it was the best time of my life. I greatly appreciate you putting this on this channel so they're all of us could feel a sense of home again. Thank you greatly!

Humility is a rare commodity along with Ole Doc. Who said you can't teach an old dog new tricks. Through the love of his grandson Ole Doc found Humility and respect for this young doctor and his new fangled medicine. Cool story, enjoyed.

Great story. Thanks for sharing 👍

I also love all of the Appalachian mountains stories. I'm from Western NC mountains in Haywood County and am very proud of my heritage. My grandma talked about the Doctor of our town back in her times. Growing up a doctor still came to my grandma's house if anyone was sick. My grandparents, mom, dad seen The Doctor (Sr), I saw him and his son (Jr) and the wife of his son. Wonderful people.

Awesome story! I can't get enough of this channel. I usually watch movies on KZfaq in the evening. Yesterday, I watched nothing but these stories; till I went to bed around midnight! I may do it again tonight! lol

Thank you, JD, for this story. Great ending. Kinda reminds me of the Beverly Hillbillies with granny with her doctor bag. Keep them coming.

I’m binge watching your channel! I can’t get enough of it. Every story is something to behold.

Just love your storytelling, left with a feeling of awe. Love from my heart to yours. Strange how often we can’t articulate what it is we feel, about things like that. One of the wonders of being human.

Love your voice it’s perfect for the telling of these stories ❤

Your stories are making me cry tonight. I'm playing catch up. I've not seen them lately. I've been a little bit on the busy side.

Your stories always have a way of putting me at peace! Thank you for your amazing stories and your story telling abilities! You bring joy to many!!

I grew up in the Appalachian mountains in W. V I always enjoyed listening to my grandma tell me stories about the way she grew up in the mountains

Love these stories. They seem to take away my stress!

I love listening to those old stories

This reminds me of my grandmother’s always telling us about the mountain remedies that got her through this or that sickness. She was happy for modern medicine but she always swore (when our illnesses weren’t too severe and she would try to tell us to do this or that as a cure instead of “spending unnecessary money on expensive and unnatural ‘medicines’”) by the mountain remedies of her childhood.

My daddy's family comes from Morgantown, West Virginia. And this kinda gives me a glimpse into what my family was like. Oh, and my husband's family comes from Webster Springs, and Diana, West Virginia.

thank you, JD, for this wonderful video! this story mimics the 1979 movie "the incredible journey of dr meg laurel" with Linsey Wagnor, if you have not seen this movie, you will love it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

Me...I grew up near the Northern Appalachian mountains and spent my childhood hiking and exploring those mountains with my dogs. How I worried my dear parents! I'd wake early and sneak out from my crib to embrace my beloved woods and mountains when I was just a wee bite There's nothing I love more than a good story and you sir are a great story teller. So glad I found your channel.

Hi JD! Thoroughly enjoyed this story. Thanks for sharing and have a blessed day!

Love the nostalgic look at life much tougher than today but they thrived

This reminds me of Dr May Horton of Cumberland Co Tennessee

Need more of your great stories.

Love your stories 😊

Thank you so much for such wonderful stories of my Appalachian forefathers. As I look outside my window at the Blue Ridge mountains I can just feel their presence through your mesmerizing words.

I'm damn sure not the emotional type and it's been a long while since this face felt wetness outside of the rain or the shower... But between the happy ending of the story and more importantly your narration, floodgates and water works definitely came over it... It's a wonder you don't have 10 million subscribers. You're a genius of your craft kind sir!

Sir , you have such a wonderful way of storytelling, I enjoy your tales and soundtrack both. Continued success and health to you,from Ireland ❤

I loved this little shirt story, keep tellin' more of your true stories. Thank you.❤

Thank you I enjoyed that story very much

That was a perfect story, just perfect! It had every emotion imaginable in there somewhere. Thanks so much.❤️🤗🐝

I enjoyed this story. Brought back memories of my grandparents & elders ❤

I wasn't raised in Appalachia but my family moved from there back in the 1800s,some of them on the trail of tears to Oklahoma

Love these stories, such a great adventure .

I love listening to your stories!! Thank you 😊

What a sweet story.

I love to hear stories like that So interesting

What wonderful stories I love the pictures also thank you

Love stories like this❤

Fascinating story 💚🌹💯 love Julie south Africa

Very nice story. Thank you.

I was with my 96 year old Granny when she died in 2002. As soon as she took her last breath, her dog at the end of her house starting howling. He did it for about 45 minutes. Hadn’t done it all that day or after the 45 minutes. The first thing that popped in my head was Numbers Chapter 22. I truly believe that dog could see something we couldn’t. I felt The Holy Ghost like I never felt it before as she was dying. A Heavenly Host took my Granny home. She was a devout Christian and loved the Lord. Now I took her name since I’m a Granny now. Read about the donkey. You’ll see what I’m talking about. KJV version.

This is great!… Mercer County WV here.

My Mother always said someone had died or was going to die when we heard a dog howling.

Y’all know that a lot of peaceful happy people up in the heads of these here hollers were forever disturbed by the approach of modern day crap. Everything was going great and one day it was over. Land and resources were stole from the people in these hollers over time. It wasn’t right the way people were treated back in them days. The only difference between the people and the American Indians was most people lived to tell what happened to them.

Greetings and Blessings J.D. and Kin Folks, from the Foothills of the Ozarks of Arkansas.

Howdy Howdy.

I wish we could still have drs like him again ...my granny could make meds from what she got out of the woods.wish we could still that.

Thanks for the story.I enjoy them all very much.

These stories you tell reminds me of growing up in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia. I sure enjoy your stories

I found you and I’m so happy , I’ve been listening to your stories ..

Another great learning story

Really enjoyed this one J.D

Loving these stories and your narrations Sir..cheers from Canada

OMG, What an Awesome story! TY4SHARING what you do, 🤟🏻🎶🎩🙏

U always bring a exciting story..

I'm not going to lie I was super nervous listening to this story. Some of the stories you tell do not have happy endings so I really had no idea how this story was going to end. Sure am glad it had a happy ending. Another great story, keep em coming. Thanks

I love this channel.👍💯❣️❣️❣️

Awe!!!❤❤

I just love your stories. I can't help it. 😁

Jared King TV Sent Me😁

I’d listen to complete novels from you, your voice is so relaxing 😊

A side note, what beautiful music. Irish traditional music at its simplest and best is quite similar. Jigs and reels, and occasionally a polka. No singing, that’s a bit different. Fiddles, concertina, tin whistle, maybe a flute to be fancy. There’s probably some interesting historical link, but I don’t know. Thank you.

Howdy

❤what a plumb gawjus darn lil tale xxx

Love your channel! I tell old stories on here also. Keep up the good work.

The King sent me and I'm glad he did.

Worthwhile content

I was born in the late summer of 1969 in the Appalachian foothills. But my Granny, Ms. Lynda Estelle Woodward grew up deep in the mountains of Virginia. She always kept her home made remedies and poltices, and would always treat us young'ns first before any Dr. was ever called on. 😏 The base of almost every med she had was corn liquor and some of the most foul smelling lotions and salves you could imagine. But always seemed to do the trick. BUT she knew when it was time to summon a proper MD. I remember once when I was little I had come down with a terrible flu that had me cruddied up for a week and it was getting worse and close to pneumonia. Momma took me up to Granny's house and I remember her making me get into some long handle pajamas and she rubbed some really smelly stuff on my chest, then gave me her "cough medicine".. 😏 which was moonshine whiskey mixed with opium that she got from Poppy she grew herself. So basically Laudanum. 😁 I felt much better pretty quickly. But that was the only one dose she gave me of that. Afterwards it was corn liquor mixed with hard cherry candy and a shake of crushed black pepper. 3 days and nights of that and the salves next to a nice fireplace and I was good to go. 😊 Oh, and some of the best chicken soup I've ever had then or since. I still have those old stained up red long handle pajamas stored in a box in my closet. RIP Granny. I'll see you soon ❤️

A very ironic story , between the old and the new ,I hung on ever word .
