We’re coming up on the anniversary of the passing of my all-time favorite speaker, Mrs. Jeanne Robertson. I was rewatching one of my favorite clips from her recorded specials earlier today. Since it’s one of those tales that’s lived rent-free in my head for a decade or so, I thought I would l share it here. It’s called ‘the Interments of Cousin Rudolph Elroy’ a/k/a ‘Rudolph Elroy Branch’.
Here’s Jeanne’s story about a relative who traveled a long way, ages after his death, to finally (at least we hope) find his final resting place.
If I ever find myself in Mr. Branch’s part of Mississippi, I know I’ll have to stop in and eat some fried chicken and potato salad, and pay my respects.
