When I was little boy living in Arizona, I had an old VHS tape from 1987 called “Tell Me A Story” which featured you telling your Appalachian tales. You told the story of Mutsmag and Old One-Eye. I must have watched that video hundreds of times! I love how animated you are in your story-telling. Finding you and this video on KZbin brought back many fond memories for me! I actually live in North Carolina now, so finding out you’re not too far from me made me very excited! I’m so glad you’re still doing this. You made such an impact on me as a kid. Thank you for what you do!!
