Christmas, one bottle to every four

Walter Weems tells Southern stories
little bit better than anyone else

cause Mr. Weems is a Southerner,
Southerner with a sense OF humor as
broad as his dialect He has lived
among the people he talks about, and
so az narrator of this type OF yarn,
he has few equals. There is a great
deal more about telling story than

this fact has made him one OF the best
