Playlist: Rick Taylor's Portfolio
I am an independent soundcaster, writer, humorist and storyteller. My alter ego, Abner Serd, is a cross between an old-time jongleur and a mountain man - part Garrison Keillor, part Mark Twain, part Shel Silverstein.
The "Tall Tales & Shaggy Dogs" series is a weekly soundcast of outlandish yarns, nonsense rhymes and delightfully raw (that is to say, more or less musical) a cappella songs. There is no intro nor outtro, which makes these brief tales perfect for dropping into an existing program. I hope you will listen!
