Who Remembers Jerry Clower?

Jerry Clower
Jerry Clower wasn't from Kentucky, but I am sure that many of us grew up laughing at his southern "old time" comedy. Clower was a Christian and he proved that comedians can be funny without resorting to dirty or offensive jokes.

Price Theater Floyd County

Price is located on Left Beaver Creek between Martin and McDowell. The last time I drove out that way the old theatre was still there. I would like to hear any comments from someone who actually watched a movie here when the theatre was still open.
