Meeting with Charles Vess
Today Curt and I ate out at Cracker Barrel where I discovered Grits.
We went to see a mill and Curt came within inches of being bitten by a Copperhead snake.
We visited the college radio station WEHC from where Curt broadcasts his radio programmes and I recorded a Station ID for them.
I also got to meet the world famous artist, Charles Vess who lives and works in Abingdon. It was such a joy to meet him and his enthusiasm for his work was a joy to encounter. He is currently working on a graphic novel based on the Appalachian Jack folk tales.
Here’s Charles showing me Appalachian Jack as a rabbit on a boat that floats in the air.
