Discovering these tapes at the Waycross Ware-County Library led to a world of first hand information.
My adopted grandfather, featured in a pervious episode on moonshining, never knew his dad recorded this tape in collaboration with the Okefenokee Regional Library and WAYX Radio. This was also the first time Mr. Harley Jr. heard his father's voice in 30 years!
