TCNW 810: Golden Arm and a Hungry Mother

Host: Allan Newsome Running time: 0:20:47 It's the Halloween season and it is a tradition here on Two Chairs No Waiting to tell a spooky story or two around the campfire. This year, as we did last year, we have a special guest storyteller. James Dodson has been coming to Mayberry events for a few years now as an "Andy Griffith" tribute artist. I thought it would be fitting to have him tell the story about "The Golden Arm" and I know you'll enjoy his telling. I always look for other stories that fit into the feeling of the season and I found this on about the "Hungry Mother." When traveling from Alabama to Andy's home town of Mount Airy, NC my wife and I always pass the freeway exit for Hungry Mother State Park near Marion, VA. Almost every year, with out fail, we comment on "why would they name a park 'hungry mother'?" I found out the story and I'll share it with you. Finally, a story about a man all alone on a dark mountain road. Looking for help because his car won't stop. This episode is spooky so be sure to keep those who might not sleep well, like Barney and Gomer, away from this one. I wouldn't want to have anyone staring darkness trying to spot someone looking for their golden arm or their mother.
