Just before Thanksgiving, 2023 we were privileged to return to The Old Mud Meeting House in Mercer Co., Kentucky. The Meeting House was used to record Episode 6 of the first season of The Grinnin' Possum Podcast. This time we brought The Grinnin' Possumaires (Deborah Payne - Fiddle, Brian McDonald - Mandolin and harmony vocals, joining Maurice Manning - Guitar, Banjo, and lead vocals) and recorded the results, which we now offer as a bonus to the first season.
The acoustics of the Old Mud Meeting House are amazing, and I hope our recording does it some justice. Thanks to everyone who attended, and to all who have downloaded the original ten episodes so far.
Keep it in your pouch!

Welcome
Poet Maurice Manning brings you a podcast chock full of down-home humor, tall tale adventuress, old time music and a little bit of insight.
The show was created in rural Kentucky where Maurice and producer Steve Cody traveled the backroads for a year, searching out remnants of our past, such as a one room school house and Kentucky’s longest surviving general store, as well as hidden waterfalls and the amazing acoustic spaces of several historic churches. The final episode features a tragic tale involving a murder during the New Madrid earthquake. The poems are narrative, set in an uncertain time, far from the beaten path, and deliver a cast of warm, funny, heartbreaking and oddball characters.
There are currently ten episodes. Audience response will determine if there will be more, so please let your friends and family know about The Grinnin’ Possum, and as we always say,
KEEP IT IN YOUR POUCH!
