In this episode of The Dillard Files, Thurl opens up the family vault with stories that span births, bruises, and barnyard adventures. He recalls the unforgettable day Michael was born—paired with a wreck in 1957—and the arrival of Donna and Wendell. Listeners will hear about baby Michael’s surgery, life on the Watkins place in Oxford, and what it was like working up north in St. Louis. But it wouldn’t be Thurl without a few four-legged characters, including Mutt the mule, a wild ride on some calves, and one unexpected encounter with a snake! This one’s full of grit, heart, and classic Dillard charm.
