Williams, Michael, 1951- -- Interviews

Michael “Badhair” Williams talks about the importance of storytelling in his family, and being inspired to begin telling stories himself in the fourth grade after folklorist Richard Chase visited his school. He mentions that although he gets to tell all kinds of stories in public foums, he primarily works with Appalachian folktales (especially for school children), personal family stories, and Appalachian stories.
