After a little further research, it appears that Cousin Jody's real name may have actually been James Clell Summey.

That put a smile on my face, so many memories of riding country dirt roads listening to 8 track of Willie and Ray , Justin Wilson, Jerry Clower. thank you Paul, that was beautiful! There was a man named Ray that would bring his guitar and visit Daddy, I didn't know Daddy could play guitar, he grabbed Ray's guitar and played & sang "There's a hole in the bottom of the sea" I miss those days so much. I love and miss you Daddy

Paul sure knows his music history! I absolutely loved this, and I think Paul should be on Celebrating Appalachia more often, particularly working with Katie, as their voices sound great together!!

I remember mama and daddy listening to this song when I was a little girl. Love the stories and reminds me of good time. Fun song. Lol

That is fantastic Paul, greatjob! 👏👏👏My head is spinning!

Thanks Paul, I love it when you explain music history. You do an amazing job.❤️🇨🇦🙏

Loved hearing the song and the music history lesson!

I loved listening to this and for some reason I feel like I have heard this before but I am 76 😊

Very nice. I heard it years ago at the folk club Godfrey Daniels in Bethlehem, PA, but I don’t remember who performed it.

Well, I never heard such a tale as that!🙏❤️🙂

Thank you, Paul! I heard this song bout 35 years ago and apparently it's still as silly now as it was then. Peace to you and yours.

Hilarious!! Your voice and guitar picking is good!! I really like to hear both!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

I remember listening to the Grand ole opry as a child with my dad. He loved the stars of that era. I got to meet Kitty Wells, her husband and son. They were very nice people. Good funny song.

Thinking about duets I thought about John Prine and a couple of albums, 'For Better, or Worse' and 'In Spite of Ourselves' several years back. Both albums have some great covers of old C&W male/female duets with some really special songs done with several of today's talented female singers. You did a great job on this song, and I especially loved the history about it that you shared!

Great funny song

thanks paul been years since i i heard this thanks for the memories

OH MY goodness!!! I have never in my life heard of such a song. I had to go back and really listen to all the family connections...to figure it out. I don't know how you remembered it all. It was a really a fun song. Thanks for sharing all the background. You beat everything I've ever seen...going from such sad songs to such hysterically funny songs. Hope you are having fun in your retirement!!! I also bet Granny is glad to have you around more! Take care, ya'all!

Thanks, MawmawKaren. Yes, Granny and I have a big time each day. :-)

Well done. Thanks for bringing back so many memories.

😄🥰Thanks for the fun song and memory Paul! I can remember my daddy singing this when I was a girl. Loved this. Blessings to you and to Granny. Have a great weekend.

🤣🤣❤️❤️I remember Ray Stevens singing it

It has been many years since I heard that song. Thank you Paul. God bless.

Like this song, been years since I have heard it.

Wow! Another example of how very talented you are Paul!! I too love duets and love all this "old" country music! It is a joy that I am able to listen to you !

I enjoyed you. 😊 I'm 78 and I remember my uncle singing this when I was young. You sang it well.

Good seeing u Paul, love what u share with us u r a great source of knowledge. Your voice I find so soothing to listen to, totally enjoy all you share. Be super to see more of you please.❤

Paul, I grew up on the Old Grand Ole O' Prey! Lord knows I remember all these people and musicians you spoke of. I remember this song and used to sing it to mg Daddy and he would laugh and laugh! You mentioned one song by Kitty Wells, "How Far is Heaven" and I haven't heard that song in many a year! I used to sang this song as a little girl to my cousins Marcia and Delois because their Daddy, (my uncle) died. When I got a little older and my Daddy died, I used to get my guitar out and sang it to my own brothers and sisters, and even for myself! I recently sung it just a few months ago to my Daughter and Grand Daughters bc that lost their Dad. I sung it in Church to them, if its the same song I'm thanking of! I grew up on all them old songs. The song is about a little girl that lost her Daddy suddenly and she wanted to go to Heaven to see him that night! If you ever have the time or know the words, I'd love it so much if you could sang it for me! You have such a wonderful and beautiful voice! I love to hear you sang anything! Thank you Tipper for this Video! I enjoy hearing your Family sang and play! God Bless and Keep Ya'll... Love and Prayers.... 🙏🙏❤❤🔥🔥🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thanks, Karen. I'm surprised you could sing that song for your friends and family after the loss of those daddies. It would be hard to get through it without crying. Kim (Steve's wife) told me at the time that her father would play the song whenever she was mad at him, and the song would always cause her to soften and make up with him about whatever they disagreed on. It is a very sweet song.

My grandson sang this to me when he was only about 8 - great memory but he laughed all the way through as did I. Amazing thing is that is really is funny and not sick. It was written by someone who was clearly a decent man that could find the humor in people.. I think I heard Willie sing this and I truley thing you did a great job! Thanks for the laugh and memories.

Paul, Now, that is a family tree that sure is a hard one to keep straight😂 Loved the description as well as the commentary. Debbie

thanks paul for the memories this one brings back have a great week

Gracious Sakes…not sure how you just did all that. lol. Cute song. Love to hear you play the guitar.

Loved this song Paul…so convoluted😮 but I bet there are families out there that this situation actually happened.🌸💝

🤣 So funny! Thanks Paul. God bless you.

Thanks for the musical history lesson, Paul, and thanks, too, for entertaining us with your delightful cover of I'm My Own Grandpa. 👍 It was popular when I was in grade school (2nd grade if memory serves).

I haven't heard this in years 😅 thank you!

That was great! I love all the music history too.

Great job, hilarious 😂❤

I've heard this before love it 😊

Great job Paul I really enjoyed That song thank you.God bless y'all.

😂Paul this was a great fun stress releaser. Love listening to the songs u did with your Pap your voices were perfect harmony. Thank u for sharing your knowledge of music and baacj in the day writers and singers. I see mess up please excuse not gonna go back and correct

I believe you had trouble keeping a straight face singing that.😂 Though some may disagree and that's fine, Paul I think you have the best ear for music and pitch than anyone I have ever known. I'm believe it's a gift given by our Lord.

Wow! thanks so much, Cecil. Sometimes, it doesn't seem that way to me. :-)

Nice song.....Peter

Wonderful!!! Love it!!

I have been working on this song for 3 years off and on. I have not performed it. The part that has stopped me is the same part that you had trouble with. It is a LOT of words.

What a thought, you’re your own grandpa 😂😂😂

Thanks Paul for all the information. Saw Lonzo and Oscar at a bluegrass festival along with Little Roy Lewis and the Lewis Family. When Little Roy and Lonzo and Oscar met up on stage ,the comedy went way over the top. What a hoot!

Very interesting information Paul. My dad would have absolutely loved hearing you talk about the older country groups. I wasn’t expecting that song to be funny, but it was. A little confusing trying to keep up with the blended family, but funny. You sang it well and how you kept up with all that is amazing to me. Get video, thank you for sharing it with us!

Can Granny be in next week's video?

Great video by an awesome story teller 😀

God bless you Paul, I have started me a Paul Wilson playlist, I've still got the old junky guitar, I ordered a squier by fender, it tunes good , it plays good, it has good action, thank you for sharing, God bless you and your family and Granny in Jesus name

Thank you Paul! Great song! Thanks for the back story and the links too!

Wow ! I've never heard this song before. I actually married my step father's nephew. It was especially easy to get together for the holidays because we never had to choose.😅 My Mother and Mother in-law were Sister in-laws by marriage 😂 And of course, some folks asked if my husband and I were blood kin since having the same last name. Thanks for sharing. Praying and Blessed! 🤗🙏💕

Thanks, Kathleen! I only had about 7 hours sleep, so maybe that's why I forgot the words in a couple of places. :-)

my dad use to sing this song and another one that I wonder if you ever heard of---Hugging and a Chalking (the two song were on some old 78s that we had but I do not remember who the recordings were of)

Very interesting, thanks for sharing!! I actually met Oscar Sullivan many years ago at an TMA awards show that was held for Traditional Country Music, in 1997. I was honored to have won best Female Traditional Country Artist that year and the show was held in Pennyslvania. I actually sat next to Oscar at the dinner they had for all of us and it was fun to hear him speak about some of his performances. He performed at the show and was quite an entertainer. You are so correct, there was so much variety and talent, with everyone having their own style. Today's Country music to me is not Country music. Geeze, I found a portion of the show with me performing if you're interested in watching it LOL. kzread.info/dash/bejne/iambxLCDpsydcco.htmlsi=B2-syEESp14ZeYYB Here's Oscar performing at the show: kzread.info/dash/bejne/mX52p7mbmLm1qpM.htmlsi=doAvJckaG3lNXS8X
