Storytelling

Amy begins the show with her story “Keep On Keeping On,” which continues her recounting of her mother’s early married life. The story is accompanied by “Annie’s Song” and features “Five Foot Two, Eyes of Blue” by the Grey Orchestra as an interlude. Doreyl’s guests on Creative Corner are Laura Boosinger and Joe Penland, who share some of the history of Shindig on the Green and its role in mountain culture. The interview is followed by “Lee Highway Blues” by Mac Martin. On Stories of Mountain Folk, Amy talks with Howard Allman of Webster, who talks about his family history and shares some stories about some of his family members. “Willard” by Terry Edwards follows the interview. This week marks the first installment of Let Us March On, hosted by Mary Sue Casey. For her first interview, she talks with Reverend Charles Lee, pastor of Liberty Baptist Church in Sylva and former president of the Jackson County NAACP. He talks about how he became involved in civil rights work with the NAACP. The interview is followed by “I’m Running for My Life” by the Liberty Baptist Choir with Lena Wykle. On Down Another Road, Judy talks with Steve Ensley, whose family originally settled in the Swannanoa Valley. He tells some of the history of the early settlement of the Swannanoa Valley and the surrounding area in Buncombe County and talks about his life growing up. He then talks about the song “Swannanoa Tunnel.” The interview is followed by “Down South” by Music 2 Hues, and the show ends with “Rejoice” by the Inspirations.
