Quotes 

• Bobby Bigelow : [on the radio]  We played that last soul rouser there for Esther Walton who just happens to be the grandma of our lead guitar player, Jason Walton. Hope you enjoyed that, Mrs. Walton.

  Esther Walton : [speaking to the radio]  Oh I did, I most certainly did!

  The Grandfather : Talk louder, Esther, they're over in Charlottesville!

• John Walton, Sr. : Say, Pa, what was that fellow doing around here this morning with that shotgun?

  The Grandfather : Oh, there was a perfect stranger come by this morning looking for a tall, gangly boy who kept his daughter out all night.

  John Walton, Sr. : Oh, yeah? Sure he wasn't around trying to tree possums, was he?

  The Grandfather : No.

  John Walton, Sr. : Morning, son.

  The Grandfather : Oh, hello Jason.

  Jason Walton : Morning. I'm sorry about not getting home last night. I spent the night with a friend.

  The Grandfather : I used to call it staying up all night with a sick friend.
