- Society & Culture
Our region is notorious for our long standing tradition of telling stories, whether they be fiction or based on our own lives and experiences. And we at WMMT and Appalshop are big on making sure these oral histories are recorded, archived, shared and kept alive for the future generations to listen and learn from. This week’s Mountain Talk features a full length CD created by Alda Smith of South Carolina. The CD blends together the stories of his grandfather, Shelah Laws, with the music he loved to sing. The collection is titled Memories and Melodies of Appalachia: Shelah Lafayette Laws. Tune in to jump back to 1965 and hear this piece of Appalachian history.
