Artist's Narrative

"100% Pure Corn"  Traditional folk artist Adele Browne tells Appalachian folktales because "the old stories that came across the ocean so long ago were changed by our pioneer ancestors; infused with wit and humor that is uniquely American. Whenever I trace one of these adventures to see how it started out, somehow the mountain version is always closer to my heart. It's the folks gathered 'round that bring a tale to life, so there's got to be a corny refrain or a musical catch phrase for a chorus of voices, so each telling is group experience."
