James Best
I had the pleasure of watching our James Best on the Hallmark channel last night in a new movie,”The Sweeter Side of Life”. It was a feel good movie and great to see Mr. Best still going strong at 86! ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
green
I don't know about film sets but I remember when working for both the US Navy and Marine Corps, most of the walls were a shade of green most of the time. When we bought this house, the former owners were Irish and had lots of green, including green shag carpeting - ugh! We changed all of it before moving in. Not that we don't like green, we just prefer it outside in the grass and trees. Aunt Bee of Orlando ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Green, green, everywhere green!
The house I grew up in down south (South Dakota is where it was) was built in the late 60's. The stove and refrigerator were both Avocado Green in color... Apparently that love of green was a nation-wide trend! Now, just to stir up another moulage a bit more, family friends from South Georgia used to tell us that they were going out to pick tobacco that day. However, if I would ask for more details, they would tell me that you would kind of rip the lower few leaves off the stalk, allowing the upper leaves to mature a bit longerso, they picked by pulling (they also said that the dew on the leaves in the morning would make your eyes sting if it got in them. Kind of brings a tear to your eye just thinking about it, doesn't it!). -Greg ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/
Re: Subject: tobacco picking or cutting-WBMUTBB Digest, Vol 14, Issue 23
VERY INTERESTING THREAD as there seem to be regional terms that vary. I spent a few growing up years in the Kentucky area and recall the term cutting but also recall the term picking in Gainesville Georgia early 60's and recall seeing the barns with tobacco drying in that manner. A few years ago (about) I saw some still like that going through Tennessee. We were behind a tobacco farmer with leaves on his truck on the highway and I wanted to follow to see where he was going and sure 'nuf there was the barn and poles. Re: rspe...@nc.rr.com While I understand the term in Kentucky is cutting tobacco, because I think with burley tobacco the entire stalk is cut - in North Carolina tobacco (flue-cured, not burley) is picked or cropped a few leaves each week over a four to five week season in the summer as the leaves partially cure on the stalk - in the old days the picked or cropped leaves were tied to sticks and hung in barns on tier poles because they were at different levels in the barn - those of us who had to climb to the top of the barn to hang the sticks of tobacco referred to them as tear poles because it would be so hot at the top of the barn our eyes would run water Yup I saw that too, and L.O.V.E. that show Re :flyfishe...@hotmail.com This reference and usage was recently on the Moonshiners TV show on the Discovery Channel when Tim Smith hides his 'shine in a tobacco field and then worries that it will be discovered since 'they'll be pulling tobacco soon'... ___ WBMUTBB mailing list WBMUTBB@wbmutbb.com http://www.mayberry.com/tagsrwc/wbmutbb/

tobacco comment
@rspell3:You are spot on with your assessment of the gathering of tobacco leaves.My father raised tobacco as far back as I can remember and we cropped tobacco in North Carolina.Other terms dealing with tobacco from start to finish were planting or setting tobacco,croppers,stringers,handers,sorters,hangers,driving drag(not dressing), curing,tobacco cratesand my favorite memory,going with my daddy to the tobacco market to sell the fruits of his labor.He would always buy me a Pepsi a Baby Ruth,both of which cost probably no more than 15 cents. Depending on your locale,any of the aforementioned words can take on a whole new meaning.Anyway you spell it,it was hard work.Lest we forget those horrible tobacco worms and having to sucker tobacco.
