The Thurl Dillard Chronicles: Roots, Roads, and Legacy

Roosters, Kraut & Army Boots: Stories from Pilot Knob to Germany


Listen Later

On this episode of The Dillard Files stitches together a tapestry of family voices, each offering a vivid memory from a different era. Vinos remembers Grandpa and the Model T; Argie recounts early electric lights on Pilot Knob and sawing adventures with Uncle Delmer. Thurl reflects on cross-country mishaps, shooting a rooster, and the legendary Jack Dempsey (the rooster, not the boxer). From horse stories and kraut cooking to farm schedules and an overseas motorcycle crash, this episode blends down-home humor, hardship, and heart with tales that span the hills of Arkansas to the barracks of Germany.
