Anyway at Williamsburg I recall you telling that story, but if I heard you correctly, you grew up in Portsmouth. That's fascinating to me since I grew up across the water in York county. One day we need to share stories of growing up in this area. ANYWAY, the point of all this is good job on the book, CD and telling at the Tell Tale Hearts deal. My best. Anthony B.

these characters really speak to me. My personal favorite, I heard you do at the Camel, "Sara Jane", (my daughter's name is Sarah Jane), but I like it for the story and its lesson. I remember being floored when I heard the line, (paraphrasing), "You don't need to cast your pearls before these swine." I've even tried to work it into conversations whenever possible, but mostly people just look at me strange. Plus, I really like how the last character connected them all. I did not see that coming. These are good character studies and you tell them well.
RIP TO SHREDS, SEND YOU CRYING HOME TO MOMMA CD REVIEW: It was good too. Jessie was good and I enjoyed re-reading it in the book. I personally have a passion for personal stories. I still recall you telling of giving your momma the hair pins on her birthday at the

It will be fun to keep in touch on this terrific web site--I miss you, girl, and hope all is well. Have your ears been burning? I've been spreading your name around.... Any chance you're going to the Conference in Gatlinburg? It would be a blessing to see you again! love and hugs, Leeny

He is a huge fan of the Kennedy guy that writes so much about these folks. Lots of folks here with names such as Mullins and Collins - definate Melungeon ties.

Did you ever see the outdoor drama that closed many years ago about the Melungeons? I believe it was called "A Walk Toward the Sunset." I saw it about 30 years ago and that's what sparked my interest.
