Thank you so much for your kind words 😊 yes Maybelle and Sara where like sisters more than cousins, I remember Sara’s reaction from Maybelle’s death she took it bad and passed away herself within a few weeks.

This is why I love it too. The preservation. And I'm not exactly young anymore but I'm still enjoying in 2023 and I'm not 50 yet

I was thinking the same thing that June sounds so much like her mother

Yeah they were always happy when they got together, Sara missed her family and maybelle so much when she left for California in the early 1940s till her death in 1979

You need to get the book will you miss me when Iam gone I think you would enjoy it

I have many interviews, in photos Sara looks so serious but she has a lovely sence of humor "And The Next Number Will Be Lonesome Dog" haha

@@carterfamilychannel When Maybelle laughed at that, I thought I was going to fall out in the floor! Thank you so much for all that you do to preserve the music. it is so very much appreciated by all of the fans.

@@will2472 Thank you William

haha yes Sara raised peacocks in later life, this interview was done when Maybelle visited Sara at her home in California.

🌷ME too.💖😇

Mary Fizer yes

haha yeah sara had a peacock farm after she retired from music

@@carterfamilychannel That's pretty cool and yes i could hear multiple peacocks as the video played on. I grew up with peacocks too. We could only have one male though. The rest never lived long enough to grow their feathers. I believe Mr. Peabody (Our beautiful male peacock) was sort of a serial killer. Females did fine but males never survived. I remember my step dad talking about finding them. It's what stops me from trying to raise them now. I've always loved them. Sorry to get off topic. I think it's neat that Sara raised them. I have really enjoyed learning about The Carter's. I mean of course i knew June and her sisters and we all know the man in black but somehow i ran up on The Original Carter family and i love the music and stories of Sara, AP and Mother Maybelle. I'm disabled so i read a lot. Like i said I'm kinda new to this so if you know any good video's, story's or book's, please let me know. Curious if your kin or just a fan. Thanks for keeping their music alive..

I think you would enjoy the book Will You Miss Me When I'm Gone? :)

@@carterfamilychannel Thanks.. I'll definitely check that out.. 🌹

My mother looked like Sara as well.

Its a long story but if you watch the video Sara's Story it might make you understand a bit better.

@@carterfamilychannel - I did watch a documentary that explained it today. Seems A.P. was too much gone looking for material. Sara probably was hugely unhappy with the fame and attention, and A.P. seemed to not be as willing to stay put and be at home. Sara probably was sensitive to abandonment from her loss of her mother so young.

@@owenwilberforce6138 she was left alone all the time with the farm and children to deal with and very little support or attention from A.P, she did try to fix the relationship but A.P was a stubborn man and Sara said his Temper left her little choice but to move out of the family home, she was alone for many years after this away from her children, she met coy again years later after he listen to her on the radio and she said this song is for Coy.

Sara had an affair with A.P's cousin

@@theshrivelstein7118 - My understanding is she felt sort of abandoned by AP as he went off to look for songs. It seems she must have felt he was a hard person to be with, as he was always on the go. It is kind of a sad story, but the music they created was truly historic and left it’s mark. What came to be known as “country” music once before was sort of “hillbilly” music, but the Carters brought a real bit of class and weight to the music they represented. So many times A.P. had worked to get out of obscurity and he more than fulfilled that dream.
