Home-Fried Tales by Lyn

What does "mature listener" mean?  Lyn tells stories to touch the child's heart in all of us.  A mature listener who has maintained his or her child's heart has a mind that is open to all possibilities, including other people's viewpoints and spirituality, subtleties and nuances in presentation, and earthy, common-sense humor; a listener with a child's heart doesn't mind visiting somebody else's playground, and learning to play a new and different game.

Any program suitable for older children will have age levels listed after the program information. 

WHEN THE GOURD BROKE:  COMMON SENSE STORIES - From the coasts of Africa to the Appalachian hills and beyond, the humor, heart, and wisdom of the oral tradition.  Even before Anansi the Spider crossed the waters, folktales originating in The Motherland have been a part of the world's best-loved stories.  Ages 10 to adult.  NOTE:  The cd, WHEN THE GOURD BROKE:  COMMON SENSE STORIES, is appropriate for all ages.

WHAT FOLKS TOLD ME, AND WHAT THEY DIDN'T - Stories of everything under the sun, from diviners, moonshiners, gossipy whiners, folks with common and not-so-common sense, and "experts" on life.  Fables, fool-tales, and table-talk from the folks most of us just call "family".

THE EARTHLY SIDE OF PARADISE - New versions of old "earthy" stories from the times when Papa, Mama, and Granny gods and goddesses created and walked the earth, talked with all creation, invented and "merchandised" sex, and laughed.
