“Tony
offers up stories, poems, historical accounts, tall
tales, and songs in a tantalizing blend of education
and entertainment. It holds my interest in a way that
a presentation of any one form can’t match. If
you close your eyes while listening to Tony’s
account of the prized camp cook, you can hear the clanging
of the old dutch oven, smell the cook fire, and taste
the beans, beefsteak, and biscuits, along with the occasional
pie or cobbler. With sure strokes, he places each song
or poem into historical context.”
