Tall tales on tap
Well-known Appalachian humorist Chuck Larkin makes his first appearance at Stars on

17, at National Heights Baptist Church in
Fayetteville. Larkin, who has been the featured performer
four times at the National Storytelling Association
Festival and more than two dozen times at regional storytelling festivals, has also worked in radio
and television.
Drawing from his Southern roots, Larkin tell tales of growing up on a farm: "We were so poor
in those days we had no shoes. We just painted our feet and laced up our toes." And, "In the summer
it would get so hot the birds had to use pot holders
to get worms out of the ground." Celtic
legends, Southern haint (ghost) tales and story
snippets from around the world are also part of his
repertoire.
Additional entertainment at the Oct. 17 coffee house includes the Dots, with songs from
around the world, and the acoustic duo of Grubbs
and Imes, with blues, gospel, folk and rock.
