Product Description:
Home Grown Stories & Home Fried Lies is a delightful look at the colorful life of Mitch Jayne and his time spent in - and out - of the Ozarks.
From teaching in one-room schools to the Hollywood big time with the Dillards, from small-town radio DJ to TV star on The Andy Griffith Show, from hound man and hunter to lecturer and author, Mitch has done it this time with a book that will have you laughing, crying, muttering to yourself and running down the street to share stories with your best friend. And wait till you see the beautiful illustrations by his wife and partner Diana!
Home Grown Stories & Home Fried Lies contains stories and anecdotes of the quriky individuals that helped shape the life of one of America's best storytellers.

Having read the previous eight reviews, I'm not sure I can add a thing. But just can't resist adding my enthusiastic voice. Just a great book on several levels. Many many "home grown stories" which often led to my laughing out loud. But also a love of the local language and culture which shines through throughout. Just a really fine recollection of a life-long journey to capture and communicate the culture and environment he loves.

I recommend this book whole-heartedly to anyone who has ever been or known a hillbilly, or to anyone who is a wanna-be hillbilly, or to anyone who likes to snicker, chuckle, giggle their way through a very well-written and entertaining piece of word sketches that illuminate the whole Ozarkian mystique. A unique gift because it's a genuine conversation starter, and appeals to a broad readership. Love it!

I didn't love the sections of the book where the author talked about his experiences with the Andy Griffith Show but other than that it was excellent.

Sure, Mark Twain was pretty good, but what's he done lately? The Greatest Living American Humorist (take that, Garrison Keillor!) you've never heard of is Mitch Jayne who, like Twain before him, is a Missourian and a storyteller par excellence. As a founding member of The Dillards, Jayne regaled bluegrass audiences with his country store brand of whimsy before "retiring" to a second career as a humor columnist for newspapers and magazines. The bedrock of Jayne's humor has always been his adopted ... Read More
