Uncle Billy McCrea
Uncole Billy was 89 years old and the conversation he had with a woman named ruby was a basic conversation. UNcle Billy told Ruby he was afraid to talk and that his voice hurted because he worked on a boat and they made him sing "Blow Cornie Blow" all day. He also sang the song to her along with another song. Two things really surprised me and that was that he had 16 boys and that he worked in a boat for 6 years. A question i would ask him is if he was ever mistreated?
