Have you heard about how Mustmag fooled the giant? Have you ever heard about how Jack rode a lion through the middle of town in front of the King? How about how Jack got Death tied up in a sack? These and other Appalachian Folk Tales come to life with Michael ‘Badhair’ Williams. Telling from the tradition of Jack and the Bean Stalk and other Appalachian adventure tales like Big Jack Little Jack, Mutsmag and Soap Soap Soap, Michael will bring Appalachian heritage to life. His performance becomes a window to history where stories were told around the cabin’s fireplace to teach and entertain.
