The Last Confederate Soldier

[UCVRelics]

 

[redbob]

One of my favorite comedic bits.

 

[Old_Glory]

That one actually made me laugh, very tricky.

 

[UCVRelics]

Well its not Gettysburg, Slavery or Black Confederate so I thought I would try a little levity. I grew up listening to Jerry Clower and Justin Wilson with my Grandpappy but Lewis is right behind them.

 

[Coonewah Creek]

That one has literally been around "since Grant was a corporal!" Still funny every time I hear it.

 

[UCVRelics]

Its been around way before Lewis but the way he tells it is CLASSIC

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

I hadn't heard that one on a while.

Oh how I miss the late great Lewis Grizzard.

 

[7th Mississippi Infantry]

I grew up listening to Jerry Clower and Justin Wilson

Two more greats !

Justin Wilson spent his last years about 25 miles away from me in Summit, Mississippi.
His buddy Paul Ott Carruth (who passed on last month) convinced him to buy a house at Lake Dixie Springs.

Although I can't call Clower, Wilson and Carruth friends of mine, I was fortunate to meet all three of the guys multiple times over the years,

They were all super people, very humble and just as funny 'in person' as they were on stage or in front of the camera.

Now that's funny!

Love how he speaks without any "r's" - except when absolutely necessary.
"......one loooone Confedahet soljah standin up on Stoooone Mountahn, got his saybah drawn..."

Reminds me of my grand daddy.

My Grandpappay would only buy fertilizer that was made by Mississippi Chemical Co, AHHH Shoot up here among us.

 

[Podad]

Lewis and the other Southern comedians were great.

Jerry Clowers "Lion in the yard" story was among my favorites

 

[Podad]

It wasn't fertilizer in my section of the South. It was called" gewanner"

I don't think anyone had any idea they were really saying guano.

 

[Ole Miss]

I was fortunate to have booked Lewis twice to appear at Ole Miss for the Student Programming Board and he was hilarious. Sad that he has passed on but he left laughter behind where ever he went.
