Tales from the South 019

Rex Robbins climbs a mountain and witnesses a beginning that makes his nerves teeter on the edge in "Proposals." Let's go with Sharolyn Jones-Taylor and a hidden bottle of whisky to say goodbye in "Hello, Brown Sugar!" Eric Maia learns through his sister's story of a death, that her life has just begun in "Delta Dead."

Tales from the South is a 29-minute weekly radio show recorded in front of a live audience at Starving Artist Cafe' in the Argenta Arts District of North Little Rock, Arkansas. Each week, everyday Southerners read their own true story, unrehearsed and live. Local musicians play during dinner, and blues guitarist Mark Simpson plays on the show. Stories range from funny to sad, to enlightening to touching. Writers are all from the South. Although the show itself is unrehearsed, the literary memoirs have been worked on for weeks leading up to the recording. All stories are true and told by the Southerners who lived them.
