Nationally acclaimed storyteller Jim Weiss weaves some magic of his own as he treats Shoofly listeners to four marvelous tales, including “The Shoemaker and the Elves.” Lightning strikes, dew sparkles, and hail crashes as poet Gene Fehler’s dramatic quatrains “All Kinds of Weather” thread their way through this lively issue. Musical highlights include sea chanties performed with a flare by singer and multi-instrumentalist David DiGiuseppe, as well as new tunes by Lightnin’ Wells and Uncle John & Mikey.
