GENESIS according to Butch Anthony -
"In 1994, John Henry Toney was plowing my garden and plowed up a turnip root that had a face in it - 2 eyes a nose and a mouth, looked just like a man. So he drew a picture of it and gave it to Frank Turner who ran a dinky junk shop in Pittsview, and he stuck it in his window as a joke and put a $50 dolla price tag on it. Well, in about a week some Folk Art collector came along and bought it. So that's how it all started."

The Doo-Nanny started out with a handful of outsider artists on the side of the road near Seale, AL, and was hosted by Frank Toney for 12 years. As the years went by and the intertwanglist movement grew there became a need for an expanded experience in an expanded environment. Butch Anthony felt the calling and stepped in 3 years ago and has been hosting it on his family homestead on Poorhouse Road - home to the world-famous MUSEUM OF WONDER, just down the road a piece from the original site.
