Episode 5 - By Blood We Are Connected
This episode we're with one of my best friends, Brandon Hillis, whose family produced moonshine in Warren County around the same time as Slim.
Let’s recap the big pieces of information. Slim was shot in 1937. Shortly after, his taxi and family car were confiscated by law enforcement. Next, their house mysteriously caught fire. Lillian, my Great-Grandmother took off and left her 3 young sons with their Grandparents.
Brandon and I are talking on his back porch. He’s sitting in a rocking chair, keeping within the sacred art that is storytelling. An art handed down from his ancestors, and yours, and mine.
