MAKING PEACE--HEART UPRISING

Simms uses adventures from her performances to draw listeners into her exotic tales. Opening with a story about an unruly class of high school students, Simms tells of disarming these wary kids with her story about a mighty warrior demanding information from a tactiturn religious man. Throughout, Simms demonstrates the art of storytelling and its purpose in our lives. Here are spellbinding stories about greed, militancy, love, and war, with a backdrop of cross-cultural music to heighten the tension. D.P.D. ©AudioFile, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG 94]
