From The Lifetime Poet Laureate CLAUDIO
Featuring Lifetime Mayor Charles Wood, Ma Pearl and The Woodpile
Audio Engineer GREG SHRIVER
This album features the voices and homespun yarns of local residents, including Mayor Charles Wood, his endearing, witty and wise mother a.k.a. “Ma Pearl”, and Dennis Wood. Also recorded performances of the critically acclaimed writings of Claudio Oswald Niedworok (by the author) that are particularly in tune with the planned revitalization of the annual Lizard Lick Festival. It is all done particularly as a tribute to Ma Pearl and her entire Wood pile. This is truly an archival piece of North Carolina history as told by those who lived it and live it still.
