Summary:
"A collection of original recitations by Hubert Furey. It started with a comical tale about raisin bread, baked in an outport kitchen without raisins. Today, Hubert Furey has been more surprised than anyone by what has followed for him. The outpouring of interest for his recitations about rural life in yesteryear Newfoundland and Labrador led to a full-length recording of stories called As the Old Folks Would Say. Concerts, live theatre performances, television and radio appearances promoting recitations, and the resurgence of the art form have been a delight for this former district superintendent of education and lifetime Harbour Main resident. He writes about the inspirational lives of the local folks he met through his early teaching career (1958 to 1967) in communities around the province, and the traditional ways of celebrating, grieving, and gathering in this unique culture. While the people are fictional, the lives are not. From hunting to courting, cooking to preaching, Newfoundland's exceptional heritage and the spirit of life on the island have been captured for generations to come with great care."--Provided by publisher.
