“Grandpa Sings-Alone's Favorite Tales” is geared toward the general listening audience, both children and adults alike. It begins with a story of the Cherokee trickster "Rabbit" who is always bragging about his abilities. It seems that rabbit can do everything better than anyone else. Then came Otter. In the end, the two get into a competition. In this funny account, rabbit learns that bragging is not a good idea and most often leads to trouble. Of course, rabbit survives the encounter. In fact, rabbit continues to be found in many other stories of the southern woodland people. In the last story Grandmother spider teaches us about our connections to each other; a very important lesson in becoming a responsible human being. This is a story that comes to us from the Hopi people of the southwest. One of my favorites!

It is said that a story is only as good as the storyteller. Grandfather Sings-Alone helps to make these stories some of the best I have heard. His enthusiasm and gift of creating the many characters in these complicated stories is developed to an art form that few can learn or master. Sings-Alone makes the characters come alive and take on their own life in each of the stories.
