Trent – hi!

100% agree regarding Jerry Clower! Great storyteller whose words indeed paint a vivid mental picture of exactly what he was talking about.

Fun fact –
My grandparents – waaaay back in the day — had the old school LP records – it was piped into a stereo speaker system at their home — and Jerry Clower was my favorite!

We’d sit at the dinner table (noon – that’s what farmer’s and ranchers call it) Ha!

And we’d take like 30 minutes, still sitting at the table for a lot of laughter to listen to Jerry Clower, from Yazoo, Mississippi!

I’ll never forget it.

I’m so grateful that University Mississippi Press has granted Daymaker permission to reprint his articles (of course for a small fee to both both publisher and family members).

Thanks, Trent!
We appreciate you for your time in engaging and sharing.

LAUGHTER ALL AROUND!

In reply to Carol.

Hi Carol!

The old school movie poster art is absolutely fabulous! The artists – don’t know for sure – but, perhaps, they did it on an easel as opposed to computers. I’d like to think that anyway.
That kind of art — like the sign artists — who once made the most beautiful one of a kind signage. Not computer generated.

And, yes, I love Leslie Elman’s fascinating facts as well.

Thank you, Carol, for reading + engaging.

SIGNIFICANT!

Hi Marty –
Jerry Clower, in my opinion was one of the funniest slice of life writers/comedians of all times.

Love that it brought back memories of your dad who was also quick witted!
Your dad must’ve been super cool for people to hang out with and wait for the one-liners in an every day sort of situation!

HAPPINESS!

JOY!

Jerry Clower is so gifted and as always brings a laugh. Today’s comment: The fellow said, “Well, there ain’t very much between you and a fool, is it?” Marcel said, “Nothing but a fence.” Here’s my takeaway: The more I read of Jerry Clower the more I’m reminded of my own Dad. He was a master at quick wit. Thankfully he was never sarcastic but oh so gifted with his humorous one liners. Thanks Daymakers for the opportunity to visit my Dad in such memory.

Fantastic movie poster art!

Don’t know where Leslie Ellman gets her facts but they are amazing. If I can remember even a fraction of them I’ll sure dazzle my friends.

Love the issue. Thank you, DayMaker, for once again making my day.

So love Jerry Clower! His brand of humor will likely die with his generation… Great storyteller who could use words to paint a vivid mental picture of exactly what he was talking about. Master of words, simple and poignant. Thanks for making my day!
