He will share with you his boyhood hiding place, and the joy of turning on the light. You will visit the Old Rock Hole, the river bank, and spend a day at Smith School. You will learn about the tenderness of home and feel his adoration for his mother. Love and love songs are plentiful, and they will strike deep into your heart. You will feel the full wrath of a raging storm rolling over the mountain, feel the power of the Book, and the love at being Papaw.
