Sam Payne

A quick note from Sam: It was such an honor to wear the badge of a National Festival teller this weekend. I unpacked this morning to discover again just how generous Jonesborough listeners had been at the festival marketplace. I brought more CDs than I ever hoped to sell, but... “A Tune is Good For Any Weather”... SOLD OUT! “Sam Payne Live at the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival”... SOLD OUT! “Dancing with Arilda”... SOLD OUT! I’m celebrating. To anyone who subscribes here at the website by entering their name and email address (just click "Continue" above, and you'll see the fields where you can enter your info), I’ll send an audio file of “When I Was One and Twenty,” a piece developed for broadcast on The Apple Seed (I performed a version of it at the festival). It’s a favorite of mine, and I hope you enjoy it. Again, to friends old and new, I say thank you! I’m so happy to have spent the weekend with you.
