SIDE ONE THE SNAKE AND THE FROG 2:58 Told by Doc McConnell Doc is a homegrown yarnteller and medicine-show entertainer from Tucker’s Knob, Tennessee. We all become Doc’s neighbors listening to him tell this hilarious story that is just a little fishy. THE FARMER WHO VANISHED 5:45 Told by Kathryn Windham Some people claim it actually happened. And with this spellbinding rendition of a super- natural occurrence in Tennessee, Kathryn shows us that “A good ghost story makes you wonder, could that really be.” THE CRACK OF DAWN 14:11 Told by Donald Davis Don welcomes us into his family by painting this humorous and heartwarming portrait of his Great-Aunt Laura. This is a story of her twilight gift "passed on” to Donald, her great-nephew. SIDE TWO WILEY AND THE HAIRY MAN 7:54 Told by Jackie Torrence One of the South’s most compelling storytellers conjures up this version of an old southern tale to lure us past the ’gators and into the slippery swamp where the hungry Hairy Man lurks. THE FOOLISH BET 10:53 Told by The Folktellers Barbara Freeman Connie Regan-Blake The Folktellers created this unique style of tandem "folktelling" that so vividly brings this Appalachian story alive. It has a "thread” of the Emperor’s New Clothes interwoven with their family names and folklore from growing up next door to their grandmother in Tennessee. THE PEDDLER’S DREAM 6:10 Told by Elizabeth Ellis Elizabeth Ellis is a Tennessee treasure. She reaches into her pack of delightful stories to bring us this Smoky Mountain version of an ancient tale about the value of being a dreamer and following your dreams. When people moved westward to settle our great country, they brought with them their most treasured possessions. Usually their trunks, lovingly packed with their keepsakes. But always, their stories. Homespun Tales is a special collection of the folktales, legends, and lore—stories from the soil and soul of America—that, even today in our complex world, still give us courage, hope, and wisdom. These stories embody the same care in creation, the same interweaving of function and beauty, the same reflection of texture and warmth as this 1848 wedding coverlet—discovered lovingly, tenderly packed away in an old trunk found in the Tennessee mountains. Homespun Tales was produced in celebration of Homecoming ’86 with funds provided by the Homecoming ’86 Office of the State of Tennessee and the Tennessee State Library and Archives through the Library Services and Construction Act, Title I. The National Association for the Preservation and Perpetuation of Storytelling is a nationwide organization dedicated to encouraging the practice, uses, and applications of storytelling in contemporary America and conducts an ongoing, year-round program of storytelling preserva- tion and perpetuation.
