Thread Name: Storytelling: Taily Bone
Subject: Folklore: Taily Bone
I seem to recall hearing John Henry Faulk telling the "Taily Bone" story, about a back country guy who whacks off and eats the tail of a demonic lizard-like critter, who spends the rest of the story stalking our erstwhile hero. I think I first heard it in maybe the early sixties, but that's just a guess. I know David Holt tells the story, but is anyone familiar with Faulk's version (or is this another one of those false memories?) and is there an extant recording around?

thanks.
