This month’s StoryTown Radio Show is based on two mysterious deaths that occurred in Jonesborough and the surrounding region in 1909. "Legs in a Barrel" Murder Mystery is presented with permission from the Heritage Alliance. The names have been changed to protect the innocent, but someone was very guilty. This episode is full of intrigue and plenty of jaw dropping moments, with the Golden Heirs Community Choir as the musical guest. StoryTown performs in the format of a live, old-time radio show complete with sound effects, musical underscoring, and live skits. Written by Anne G'Fellers-Mason Story is based on the true, tragic deaths of Andrew Slagle and John Spencer. May the dead rest in peace. The live show took place on October 28th at the McKinney Center. This episode is sponsored by Windsong Studio of Jewely Arts.
