@@TheAppalachianStoryteller Ah right okay. When you do the book promo segment, you sound different JD, hence why I thought maybe you used TTS

I've been a book reader for many, many years. I was not able to sit and listen to something unless it was music. These days, I've come to rely on videos, not yet completely audio, and then I found Y'all's channel. When I'm reading, if a writer is skilled enough to write as though the people are speaking in my head, accents, drawls, and more. So, since I've hung around and "listened" to your stories, I've found that it's not the words, but the sounds of those words that make me listen raptly. You have that skill. Not just telling the story but making it sound real. What a wonderful skill. You've touched my imagination. 😊 I thank you, Sir.

If you ever need a genuine heavy Alabama accent I would be happy to help you out. I love listening to your stories. When I was young I was embarrassed of my accent because everybody in Birmingham had a standard American accent. In contrast to mine it made me really self conscious. As I got older, now in my 40s, I realized our accents tell a story of who we are, where we come from and our history. I am no longer embarrassed when I talk to city people with their city accents. I'm from peach country and I'm proud of it. I come from a long line of tenacious and hard working women. My accent was passed down from them. I have dropped the unnecessary r's that my granny and my mama use in Chicargo and warsh rag. Hahaha other than that I sound as country as a butter bean and wouldn't have it no other way.

I have never heard this story before. Some people are natural piece makers. Thank you for this History Lesson. I was almost a senior citizen before I learned about the healing waters of Olympic Springs, Kentucky. The story was written up in THE KENTUCKY EXPLORER. Rich people and Royalty traveled from far away to stay in the Hotel, to bathe and drink the healing water of Olympic Springs (which was located in Bath County, KY). I did not believe it; because, I had been there (I had seen anything about a hotel and healing water there). So, I talked to Daddy. Daddy told me the story was true. I wanted to know what had happened to it? Daddy told me that the sewer had leached deep down into the ground and polluted the water so badly that it put the Hotel out of business. THE KENTUCKY EXPLORER is still being published inside KENTUCKY MONTHLY magazine. I had feared that both magazines had gone out of business. Both magazines were wonderful as they were; but, they are GREAT together.

What a lot of folks don't talk about when discussing the burning of the Oliver springs hotel is the impact the timber industry was having on the area. You see, the primary reason the hotel wasn't rebuilt was because the mountain behind it had all the old growth cut off of it, destroying the root system and the ecosystem of the area, this destroyed the springs, and left them only flowing at a tiny fraction that they once flowed, all the way down to a trickle.. which was a far cry from the river of springs that gave "Oliver Springs" its name.

My Gram also said dancing was a no-no back in the day although she played her acoustic guitar…& then I had my other Gram who was from Pittsburgh and was a swing dancer & yet didn’t play any music instruments…go figure

It looks like it, dont it! But- it's actually the resort from Oliver Springs Tennessee (where this story takes place). The hotel was the first in the southern United States to have electricity and an elevator, folks traveled from Europe to bath in the famous mineral springs that flowed behind the hotel. It burned in spectacular fashion in 1907 in the middle of the night, folks said you could see the fire in the sky from 40 miles away. It was never rebuilt and has long been forgotten. I took a bit of pride in creating this story at this hotel to bring a small reminder of its former glory to the present generation.
