It's a pleasure to once again make the acquaintance of Jesco White of Boone County, West Virginia. I first saw this documentary on a VHS that had been reverently passed from friend to friend. Now, thanks to the miracle of the Internets, it's available to all.
The Dancing Outlaw is at once a simple man, and an enigma. As his beloved wife Norma Jean says: "Jesse can be three people: he's Jesse, he is Jesco, and he is Elvis."
And you know all the stereotypes we're not supposed to have about Appalachia? This will do absolutely nothing to dispel those.
First of four parts is here, double-click on the video to go to the original YouTube page where you'll see links to the other three parts.
