Kind Hearts, the lady with her eyes closed is Nancy Reeder who performed an enthusiastic version of Twain's leaping frog. The guy in the blue cap is Dave Waldrop, who not only tells stories, but sings. Among other things, he sang about kudzu!! The man with the guitar is Paul Arrussi,a mountain musician who is the perfect addition to a storytelling session. Last Saturday Night, the Liar's Bench met at Signature Coffee, and while the storytellers told tales about pigs, frogs, devious preachers and Jack Tales, Paul sang songs between the tales. Dave Brewin did a Jack Tale about Jack and the Devil, and Newt Smith talked about hog killing and Harry Crews! We even had a haiku about a French waiter from John Quinnett and a poem called "Tired" from Perry Eury! I talked about the Liar's Bench in front of the local post office and how it got it's name. We will do this again with a new program on July 3rd at City Lights. Please come.

Yes, it was a fun evening and I'm glad that we're going to keep this project going. The singer's name is actually Paul Iarussi in case any of you want to get him and his band to play for you. He plays with Benny Queen and the Wild 'Tater Band which is a real good bunch of musicians that spans the musical spectrum.
ReplyDeleteAh, well. I got Paul's name from a neighbor and that is the way he spelled it. As for me, I want Paul at any and all future meetinss of the Liar's Bench." The next one is July 3.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! Paul is an encyclopedia of every early country and bluegrass song ever written which for the most part-- all tell a story.
ReplyDeleteGary, this sounds like a fun time for everybody. Glad to see a photo of Nancy Reed. I've seen her name on our Netwest membership list for years and now I see her face.
ReplyDeleteNancy Reeder is a professional storyteller and has an M. A. degree from ETS in storytelling. She will probably be a regular feature at the Liar's Bench in the future.
ReplyDeleteWish I could, but it's a fer piece between there! And I ain't no storyteller of any worth anyhoo. Glad to see you all having so much fun though.
