Donald Davis Live from Fearrington Village

Audiobook

Recorded live at Donald Davis's December 15, 2007, performance at Fearrington Village near Chapel Hill, NC, this CD captures the familiar and special relationship between a skilled and beloved storyteller and the audience that has sustained him year after year. In three memorable stories, Davis revisits the vertigo occasioned by the rides at the county fair ("I had my head down between my legs with my fingers in my ears so my liver wouldn't squirt out through my brain"), recalls the days when corporal punishment was common ("most kids didn't need to worry about it, because every class had about three designated paddlees whose job in life was to get paddled for the whole class"), and puzzles over the Belks department-store Santa's inability to remember him ("I thought, if he can't remember my name, how's he going to remember what I want?") despite multiple visits.
