Episode 86 Copperhill

We're back baby (fingers crossed) hope y'all are still out there!  The first story back is a personal one, because my dad was born up in this tiny mining community. I hope you enjoy this first episode back! I'lll up load pics to go along with the episode soon so be on the lookout for those on our social media, search Lore of the South and we should pop up. Thanks for listening!

Thank you to Mrs Joyce at the Ducktown Basin Museum. You were a treasure and really put a personal touch on the whole tour. Hope you get some LotS, listeners to come and visit. 

Shoutouts! People who have really helped to bring me back to my story telling. My Cousin Grant, My Uncle Clint, the memory of my aunt, my friend Curtimus who told me it was a gift and I shouldn't waste it ( or something like that ).  My OG supporters, Elle, Ms Judy, Sydney and Chantel (I did that from memory I hope I spelled y'alls names okay) Rhonda. To anyone I missed, I do apologize.
