I understand, and speak, Tennessee lingo, so Brother Dave was no problem to me.
Actually, though, he spoke pretty standard English.

A few of his quips I recall:
"What will the preachers do when the Devil is saved?"
"Contentment is riches, and complaint is poverty, and the worst I ever had was
wonderful!"
"Let them that don't want none have memories of never gittin' any!"
I've got almost all the albums, but it's too much trouble to dig them out to
mine for more clever nuggets.
