What My Granny Taught Me: An Excerpt from the Cornbread & Tortillas Folk Opera
May 20, 2022 Episode 24
Carla Gover

This is part of my meandering summer episode series, which don't necessarily come out each Thursday, but rather when inspiration strikes. I might be in a cool café in London or an East Kentucky Holler when I record, or maybe just in my cozy living room drinking a cup of tea as I was for this episode.

I begin with a reflection on tours past and future, and share one of my zaniest tour stories from the road.

I then share my monologue from a project we've been sprucing up lately, the Cornbread & Tortillas Folk Opera. It's about all the things my Granny taught me, including how to make cornbread.

I finish with a sneak peak from the new CornMaiz Stringband album, and a toast to all my friends!
