A Taste for Stories - a recent program on Stories in Time
From Ellouise:
This is storytelling like you would hear if we were sitting on the front porch. I just made it up as I went along. In the North Carolina of my childhood that was the way it was done. I still like to tell my stories with the words just tumbling out with one thing reminding you of another and finally they all bind together. I hope the story prompts you to jump in with your own memories. Tell them to someone.
