In this episode of The Dillard Files, Thurl and family recount vivid memories rooted in the rhythms of rural life. From canning pears and selling pies to using old cistern pumps for water, this episode brings the Watkins place to life through stories of frog legs, learning to ride bikes, and childhood curiosity that sometimes led to a tumble or two. Thurl recalls a wreck in Missouri, starting over in Tulsa, and the day Sarah was born. You’ll also hear about rodeo mishaps, broken mufflers, tractor naps, quitting smoking, and Eddie’s cigarette-rolling skills. It’s a blend of grit, humor, and heritage, told the only way Thurl can.
