Once the Southern Bells brought calling to rural North Carolina, it appeared as if a "big black daffodil". What calling company hadn't counted on in conceiving its eight-party line service was a set of "past-middle-age, unmarried sisters", the chatty Misses Lucy and Lena Leatherwood. After the Leatherwood sisters were connected by the Southern Bells, nobody else on that line had a chance! This recording also includes Davis' hilarious story about his first day of school, "Winning and Losing". "My personal plan was to learn to read first thing on the first day," Davis said. "From then on, they could go on and teach me anything they wished to."
