Aesop: Alive and Well

Description

2001 Aesop: Alive and Well. CD. Diane Ferlatte, Storyteller. Erik Pearson, Guitarist. San Francisco: Olde West Inc. $4.64 from Jukebox On-Line, WindGap, PA, Nov., '09.

Guitar background. Lively sung introductions to Aesop and to his life, followed by five stories 6 to 12 minutes in length. CP, BW, AD, "The Monkey & the Donkey," and DS. At the end there is a reprise of "Aesop, Alive and Well." I listened to "Poor Crow" and "The Shepherd Boy." Ferlatte continues to tell of Aesop's life between fables. Narration moves easily into song. The renditions are engaging. For example, the dying laugh of the shepherd boy at others' expense is very well done.
