Abe and Ferrill prepare for an interview with Dennis Covington. Abe lists out the questions, which include a surprising claim about Loretta Lynn and her (if true) connection to the serpent handling faith. Also, Abe plans to ask the difficult question: Did Dennis Covington apologize to Old Rockhouse Holiness Church? After the in-person interview with Covington, Abe hits the road to continue strengthening his relationships with members of the faith. One day, he lands a gig at the world-famous Bluebird Café in Nashville, Tennessee – a sold out show. Abe invites serpent-handling preacher Andrew Hamblin on stage to accompany him on one of Abe’s most personal songs: “Appalachian Farewell.” Visit the Alabama Astronaut Podcast website for more content!Alabama Astronaut Podcast websiteFind us on social, too:Alabama Astronaut FacebookAlabama Astronaut's TwitterAlabama Astronaut Instagram Special thanks goes to: Shawn ByrneThe Bluebird CafeDennis Covington and the family of Dennis CovingtonAndrew and Taylor HamblinCathy PartridgeElizabeth "Fish" GibbsGregory CootsCody and Cassy CootsTony FeyerWe also want to express a very special thanks to the The Jacob Hall Memorial Music Grant.
