Donald, I totally agree.
I'm finding more and more that the energy needed to promote your work through bookstores is more than I can handle. However, those two guys up near Burnsville ( "Planting by the Moon" "The Sound of Thunder')make it seem effo…

My reception
Chuck,
If it is convenient, please come to my reception at City Lights on Friday, December 4 at 7:00. I have been reading your blog and website and we have a bit in common. The reception is for the "official release" of the DVD of my play,
"Nance Dude," which I have been doing with Elizabeth Westall for the past 12 years. I am hoping that the reception might also serve as an opportunity to discuss Appalachian folklore/history/folk heroes as potential subjects for writing.

And how can I buy DVDs from you? What do you have available directly? Can you put that info on this page?
More soon!/Rob

Tipper said… - Hey Gary-hope you're doing well this day! I have a favor to ask you-remember back a few weeks ago when we were discussing spring water in the group? Could I use part of your comment about your grandfather's water on the porch? I'm writing a post about spring water and wanted to add some of the comments from here. Of course I'll give you credit and I'll link it to your blog if you want me too. Just let me know. Hope the re-wiring of your ears goes well!

Ol' John Brown said… - Now I think I get it!
I've been in the forum under "Folklore Subjects" rather than the group; I'll request access and be there when it lets me in.
I'll send you an email from this site about the doc.
It looks like several mails haven't made it to you; I'm sorry.

- No problem; did the mail about what the doctor said was wrong make it to you?
My wildblue email just isn't making to people much of the time.

- Gary,
Just trying to catch up; have my emails been making to you? I answered your last one but my mail tends to get stuck before getting to people. Just wanted to make sure you knew I wasn't ignoring you.
My writer's block is finally gone and hope to finish a book soon. Wish me luck.

- My grandmother would say, "Shoooooo! Smells like cyarn! It would be a dead possum or some unfortunate critter that had died near the barn. Sometimes after midnight, folks would knock on our door and say, "Arthur, can you go George's bail?" That meant that someone was in jail. Grandpa would get up and go to town and post bond for somebody.

Thank you for the comment on the Vocabulary Test. I have indeed heard cyarn before-Pap still uses the word for something smelling horrible or dead. And Pap and Paul sing a song-maybe more than one-with the "go your bail" saying. So I've only heard that one in a song. Interesting how our words survive from one generation to the next. I just hope it continues to happen!

NealH said… - No - when I go to Folklorists there is a box that says 'Information - 8 members...' but no posts or sublinks or anything. I believe this is a moderated group and that I have to be added by the group creator - Rob. Everything else on The Read is dandy.

Sallie-loved reading about the old house and your memories. Makes me wish it was still there so I could drive into Hayesville and see it for myself.
