Ma Semple, Appalachian Storyteller January 30, 2010

In the great oral tradition of the story teller, Sari Semple takes us back to the foothills of the Appalachian Mountains of the mid-nineteenth century. As Sari spins her tales the listener is transported to those hills. The stories blend together the folklore and the gritty reality of life in the ridges and hollers of Appalachia. Young and old alike will be spellbound by the rich tapestry of words woven by Ma Semple. She may not be the First Lady of the Land but she certainly is the first lady of Appalachia.
