We're back with the most requested guest of the Free Outside Podcast—except it's just me requesting him. For his third appearance, Derrick Lytle joins the show to break down the Black Canyon 100K with the most in-depth, possibly inaccurate, but definitely entertaining preview out there. We discuss the dreamers and receivers of golden tickets, the state of ultra running rivalries (hint: we just ignited one), and why Hayden Hawks could still win this race from New Zealand. We also cover influencer participation (or lack thereof), how to look good for the live stream, and public domain excuses you can use if your race goes sideways. Other highlights include:

Stingbean Akeman is an absolute bango-playing, Hee Haw comedy legend. He was a beloved innovator at the Grand Ole Opry, beast on the baseball field and loved stashing cash. He married Estelle who cruised around in brand new Cadillacs, never bothered living with indoor plumbing and also loved stashing cash. These two love birds were brutally, tragically taken from this Earthly existence by a tiny crew of dumbass haters who suffered tragedies of their own. Muriel does it like she always does and hips Nick to the history and world that makes this story one of kind. RIP Stringbean. RIP Estelle. Requested by Alec!

Hello, Crime Family, and welcome back to Episode 90 here at the True Crime BnB!This week I have special guest Miss Ruby Wilde, co-hostess of the Vintage Homicide Podcast, bringing the sad and senseless murder of Grand Ol' Opry and HeeHaw regular David "Stringbean" Akeman and his wife Estelle. But even if you already know what happened to Stringbean and Estelle, Miss Ruby has widened this story to a surprisingly large number of other related, but also unrelated, murders! This case had a great impact on the greater country music scene in the 1970's. Beth follows behind with the survival story of Sherri Boone, a brave and gutsy woman in Massachusetts. She lived through a terrible attack and when the law failed her, she made it her mission to bring attention to, and bring about revisions to, the very outdated penal code in Massachusetts.

(Part 2 of 2) David Akeman affectionately known as “Stringbean” was born on June 17, 1915 to a farm family in Annville, Kentucky. Anneville is a small town in Jackson County, Kentucky. Stringbean's love for music began at an early age. Before he was 8 years old, he built his first instrument out of a shoebox and thread. He most likely developed his early love for music from his father who was a successful banjo player who often played throughout the community. By the time Stringbean was 12, he bought his own banjo and then began playing at local dances and built a reputation as an excellent musician.While working construction type work building roads and planting trees, he continued playing his banjo with a goal of making it big in the music business. His career began when he entered a contest being judged by singer-guitarist-musical saw player Asa Martin. After impressing Martin, he soon joined Martin's band.During a performance, Martin had forgotten David Akeman's name. So he just introduced Akeman as “String Beans” The nickname was given to him based on his tall lanky frame. Apparently, the name stuck and David Akeman would become known simply as String Bean.Not only did Stringbean become known for his musical abilities, he also became known for being a funny guy. Stringbean became known as a comedian musician. He also broadcast on WLAP out of Lexington, Kentucky, and played with different groups during the late 1930s. Strange enough, old country music back in the 30s didn't include much banjo playing. However, Stringbean was able to keep banjo playing relevant in country music.Interesting enough, Stringbean was also a decent semi pro baseball player. His baseball playing skills became known to Bill Monroe, who had his own semi pro club. Monroe was so impressed with Stringbean that he added Stringbean to his band. He played in Monroe's band from 1943 until 1945.After Stringbean left Monroe in 1945, he was replaced by another popular banjo player named Earl Scruggs, who had a different sound than Stringbean. Stringbean would also go on marry his sweetheart Estelle Stanfill in 1945. The following year he would begin working with another banjo player named Louis Marshall Jones, affectionately known as Grandpa Jones. The two men would both be together doing comedy in the television program Hee Haw. Grandpa Jones was a WWII veteran and would become Stringbean's closest friend. The men also became neighbors in Goodlettsville, Tennessee.Akeman was one of the Opry's top stars throughout the 1950s. Oddly enough, he didn't begin recording on his own until the early '60s, when he signed to the Starday label. He had hits with "Chewing Gum" and "I Wonder Where Wanda Went," and recorded seven albums between 1961 and 1972.His first album was titled Old Time Pickin' and Grinnin' with Stringbean which was released in 1961. His music was considered folk stories with a taste of comedy. At the time, Stringbean and his buddy Grandpa Jones became the two biggest old time banjo players of their era.In 1969, a country style comedy would come to television. The program would be called Hee Haw and was on television from 1969 to 1993. The program lasted for 26 seasons and recorded 655 episodes. Any popular country musician who was anybody appeared on the show.Unfortunately, Stringbean and his wife Estelle would be tragically murdered on November 10, 1973. After the couple returned home from a performance at the Grand Ole Opry, they walked in on a robbery by two men. Stringbean was shot to death in front of his fireplace and his wife Estelle was shot to death outside their home while trying to flee the robbers.It would be Grandpa Jones who would find the bodies of his beloved friends the next day. Grandpa Jones had plans to pick Stringbean up the next day for a a planned hunting trip. Grandpa Jones would learn the sad truth when he pulled up to his friend's cabin at 2308 Baker Road near Ridgetop, Tennessee. According to author Taylor Hagood, Stringbean and Estelle didn't believe in using banks. Both were alive during the Great Depression when many people who had money in their banks lost it all.Stringbean was known to keep thousands of dollars in cash laying around his house. Grandpa warned him many times to not keep his money in the house. He told Stringbean that one day, keeping that cash around the house would get him killed. When Grandpa found the bodies of his murdered friends, he knew the day he worried about had finally come. The murders shocked Nashville residents. Author Taylor Hagood would write a book about Strinbean's life and death.For his book about Stringbean, Hagood interviewed one of the lead investigators in the case, surviving members of Stringbean's family and fellow musicians who knew Stringbean personally. He then compiled his findings into the book titled Stringbean: The Life and Murder of a Country Legend.If you enjoy reading.

You read it right, I'm the guest on my own podcast. Two weeks ago, I finished setting the unsupported FKT for the Long Trail in 4 days, 11 hours, 34 minutes, taking over 12 hours off Stringbean's self-supported time and 36 hours off Jeff Garmire's unsupported time. As of the recording this podcast, that is the second fastest overall time on the Long Trail, regardless of support category. This week, guest co-hosts Jordan Fields and Jack Kuenzle interview me about the effort. This isn't a play by play - if you want that, please go read my trip report on the FKT website.

My guest this week is Professor Taylor Hagood, author of "Stringbean: The Life and Murder of a Country Music Legend".

David "Stringbean" Akeman was a singer, clawhammer banjo player and an early Grand Ole Opry star, known for his lanky build and comedic personality. And as a cast member of the nationwide television show Hee-Haw, he was at the height of his popularity when he and his wife Estelle were murdered in their rural Tennessee home in November of 1973.My guest this week is Professor Taylor Hagood, author of "Stringbean: The Life and Murder of a Country Music Legend".

Taylor Hagood on Stringbean, Persistence, and the Problem of Cutting a New Path Banjo player and comedian David Akeman, known essentially all of his professional life as Stringbean, lived the kind of rags-to-riches story that was supposed to come with a happy ending.  On this episode of News from the Peak, we talk to Professor Taylor Hagood about Stringbean and the work—the very real and often quite fragile work—of writing a book about someone who has tended be seen as only important in death. Hagood is as engaging a speaker as he is a writer. A professor of literature at Florida Atlantic University, Hagood has a distinguished career as a scholar of William Faulkner, among other writers, and is a teacher and lecturer of no small renown.  Alongside all of that, he somehow finds time to perform magic and sing and play piano and banjo. A skilled visual artist and craftsman, he recently built a banjo that uses the same resonator as the one most closely associated with Stringbean (the Vega #9 Tubaphone) and closely follows it in other elements of its design.  That's the banjo you can hear Hagood play in these three tracks that he very generously recorded for us. You will hear Cripple Creek during the interview and at the end we share two tracks in full —“Hot Corn, Cold Corn” and “Pretty Polly”. All of these are closely associated with Stringbean and Hagood plays them in the clawhammer style that Akeman favored, and on the Banjo he built during the writing of this book.

 In 1973, country music star, Stringbean Akeman, and his wife, Estelle, lived a fairly frugal life in Ridgetop, Tennessee, just half an hour from Nashville. Scarred from the Depression, the couple didn't use banks and instead kept their money either on them or hidden in their cabin. This was something of a well-known secret, as Stringbean would occasionally flash wads of cash around.  Both of them had hidden pockets sewn into their clothes and they made a habit of keeping most of their money in those, with a little bit of money kept in easier-to-access places, like Estelle's purse or Stringbean's front pocket.  Two cousins took advantage of this 'well-known secret', but not the lesser known secret….SOURCE MATERIAL:https://www.wideopencountry.com/rise-fall-stringbean-akeman/https://theboot.com/david-stringbean-akeman-wife-estelle-murdered/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c6ETIy8fi0ghttps://tasteofcountry.com/stringbean-akeman-murder/https://www.tennessean.com/story/news/crime/2014/11/02/stringbean-akeman-killer-may-mark-anniversary-deaths-free-man/18383697/Voice Actor:  Chuck Haungs Hosted and edited by Amanda ScottCo-Hosted,  produced, researched,  co-written and original graphic design by Pamela ScottOriginal music by Waves Entertainment Disclaimer by Chuck HaungsENMESHED is an OH NO!
