- ... that to convince people to let him record their singing, Ozarker folklorist Max Hunter helped them out with chores, including delivering moonshine? Source: "To get people to cooperate, he would help them with the chores, loading hay, tending chickens, feeding calves. "He even delivered stump water," Mrs. Hunter said cheerfully. Stump water?

- Long enough, at 2203 characters. Within policy, QPQ not needed. Both hooks are fine, although I prefer the first 'cause it's more fun and mentions moonshine. ;) Nice job, good to go.
