    Ha, I should have know you'd have a few of Popcorn Sutton. Again, wonderful work--the one of the two girls clambering around on the sawhorse deserves the full James Agee treatment.

    FWIW, get her under a brush-arbor and my grandmother could go full-Pentecostal and speak in tongues, but I never heard of a congregation that made a habit of taking up serpents in my part of the world. (A colleague from our department when we were at UA-Birmingham, Dennis Covington, did a "New Journalism" take on the snake handlers on Sand Mountain, Alabama though, that was a finalist for the National Book Award.)

    Wow! I did not expect this. It looks quite real. Of course I haven’t heard of the bike called Chipper. That should have been the tip-off.

    Notice the spelling,”Chiper.” James passes away several years ago. I think he was in his 90’s but could be wrong. Pretty much all his carvings were done with a Case pocket knife. I need to pull up the files and post some closeups of his hands and knife while he was carving. James only sold a handful of his pieces until near the end of his life. His wife was sick and confined to her bed for over 20 years and didn’t want James to sell any of his work. Much of it resides in a spare room in their tiny house until he sold most of it to John Rice Erwin at the Museum of Appalachia in Norris TN.

    These are great! Thanks for posting
