SEAROSS | John Henry Faulk's Christmas Story- Go LISTEN! (13) | RE: John Henry Fauks' Xmas Story- Go LISTEN! | 21 Dec 99 |
My dad worked with John Henry in the days of the CCC on a project in San Antonio. At that time, one of his amazing talents was the ability to sound just like a black preacher. My mother had been exposed to black preachers around the state and said that if you did not see Johnny, you would have sworn it was a black preacher in the room. He collected and published some of these in Texas Folklore Society publications. |
