The premiere of the movie we’re in-If I Had Wings To Fly-was a huge success.
We couldn’t have asked for better weather.
There were new friends…
and there were old friends.
Of course there were boots.
There was even a couple of pigs hanging out up the road.
Even though they only have a small part in the movie-these 2 pretty girls more than enjoyed themselves. ( I caught my whistling girl-well whistling)
The movie has old time music from beginning to end-but we had the treat of live music before the show provided by The Puddle Jumpers.
There was also some mighty fine flat footing along with the tunes. (Chatter and Chitter were too chicken to take part in it)
For all who asked: the dvds of the movie should be ready in the next 2 weeks or so. I’ll be sure to let you know all the details.

I would LOVE to see that movie!!!
Congrats to all of you, I know it was a wonderful feeling to be a part of something like that..Can’t wait to see it.
Fantastic! Can’t wait for the DVD!
Looking forward to the DVD release. Glad the opening went well!
How cool! I really hope I can see it sometime soon!
I’m sure there’s people that reads this blog that are -like me- old enough to remember the Beatles song “Golden Slumbers” with Paul Mc Cartney and the first two lines of the song. It says, “Once there there was a way to get back homeward, once there was a way to get back home.” To me this is what Tipper’s blog does – if only sometimes in memories.
I believe all of us have two homes. One is the here and now. The other only exhists in the memory as well as many the people we have known. These topics, the great people on this blog that share their memories, poems, stories, and folklore on this blog, through Tipper does just that – at least for me- a way to get back home and all those beautiful memories and people that were part of that “Home”.
I know of a poem that speaks of memories using a metaphor that speaks of “The meadows of the mind where shadow-sheep ( or distant memories )graze slowly by”. There’s few days that I don’t get a thought like this when I read this blog. Someone tells of their Grand Pa, their Mother, Granny, brothers or whatever. It all provides another way to get back home.
I feel that this movie Tipper and her girls are in is a sweet page taken from a kinder and gentler time. I can’t wait to see it. Don’t know much about the plot yet but I already know there’s pretty girls in it.
Hope I didn’t ramble too much.
I just can’t hardly wait for the DVD to come out, I know that must have been so exciting; I am so happy for you all. You have done a great job with your 2 beautiful young ladies and I know there will be lots of opportunities for them, they are very talented. Congratulations and best Wishes to you, Matt and the girls !
TIPPER AND THE GIRLS:
Happy your film was a sucess and will wait to buy the dvd when it is released. I’m sorry that I didn’t get to see the movie and meet you in person. Keep up your good work. Look forward each day, but still have a problem sending a comment.

Tipper,
I know you’re so proud of your
beautiful girls, and getting to
grow up with them is a rewarding
thing. And you’ve kept them out
of trouble, mostly. I remember
last October while watching the
movie, turning to see Chitter and
Chatter just as their parts came
on, and getting that satisfied
smile from both of them. Its a
very good movie and you all did
well. Bring on the DVD’s!…Ken
Congrats to you and yours!!!!
Congratulations! I hope to get to see it some day soon!
How very exciting! Congrats to you all. It’s not every day you get put into a movie!! Next stop…. Hollywood?
Tipper,
“Land of the Blue Sky”
You sure did have a purty day! Sounds like the premiere went great…Wish we could have been there…but will catch it on DVD.
The girls are so pretty…
I would have loved to see them flat footin’…
I have walked down that very street as has my other kinfolks..
Back in the day it was a big deal to go to the big city of Asheville!
My long ago deceased Pa, could tell some stories of flat footin’ in Asheville…The boys would slip out of the house, take their Dads mule and ride to Asheville. Tie it out, and ride it back in the wee hours, hopefully before their strict Dad got up…Remember they went to bed with the chickens and woke up before the chickens, to work on the farm…They got caught slippin’in one morning, walkin’ a “sideways” };op LOL Another story for another time….
I’m sure you didn’t do no celebrating “sidewise” walking!
Great post, Tipper
PS:
I was born at St. Joseph’s so that’s for sure my hometown…LOL
Wow! What a premiere showing!
Like Eva Nell, wish I could have been there, too!
With playing, singing, clogging…and whistling…skills, and, as Ed wrote, Chitter and Chatter’s “drop-dead gorgeous” looks, I’m sure someone will be knocking at your door to sign them up soon (and their beautiful mother, too!)
Thanks for sharing with us. Best wishes to all of you.
Sounds like everyone had a great time at the premiere. Can’t wait until I can get a copy to see it too. Congratulations to you and your beautiful girls!
Wish I could’ve been there! I’m sure even the whistling was good!!
What fun for you all!! You’re famous! 🙂
Tipper and family, I am happy that the movie was a success. Congradulations to you all. You have a wonderful family.
This is wonderful ! The girls have grown into such beautiful young women-I wish I could have been there. oxox
Congratulations! Looked like heavy-duty fun.
Can hardly wait!
Looks like a good time had by all!
Tipper: All that music sounds ‘just like home’ for me! CONGRATULATIONS! Don’t you worry, your girls are sure to shine with their talents and beauty! Wish I could have been there!
Eva Nell
Ed nailed it for sure. I too am anxiously awaiting the DVD release and how to get one. That Puddle Jumper bunch sure looked like they was having a good time pickin and grinnin.
Yes, the premier was great fun. Seemed like all the folks there were happy and enjoying themselves and the movie.
Tipper, you and the girls did a fine job of your parts. There was an overall sweet feeling about the movie. It had a peaceful feeling about it.
The two guys who made the movie, Bruno and Harrison were sure happy with their new baby.
The music and the love of music sure shinned through!
Congratulations to all!
Can’t wait to see it! The girls are beautiful.
Them girls ain’t pretty girls. They’re drop dead gorgeous young ladies.
What was in the puddle that the jumpers couldn’t jump? They got it all over themselves! I’ll take my cornbread with a glass of buttermilk and some pintos, thanks! As for entertainment give me Pap and Paul and the girls(gorgeous young ladies)and their bassist anytime. And throw in a Guitar Man and a Mandolin Man just for good measure.
I am holding my breath ’til “If I Had Wings To Fly” comes out. I’m starting to look a little blue aready.
