MEET THE SMOKIES 3 - OLD-TIMERS FARM LIFE & MUSIC at CADES COVE

Smoky Mountain old-timers talk about farm life in the Smokies, plus mountain music is played, some at Cades Cove. "Meet the Smokies" (around 1972) was a multi-part series that covered a lot of aspects of the park. This part showcased farm living, such as plowing, hard times with money, and churning butter. Also, mountain music is played, some at Cades Cove. Two of the series have been intermixed, farm life and mountain music by a trio of men. Some titles have been added to the original. Re-edits by Lew Bolton. Thanks to Mike Aday for researching and providing the digital files.
