NOW THE BLACK MAIL COME WHEN THE SUN LAY DOWN
IF THE MOON GET BIG AND THERE AIN’T NO SOUND
LISTEN FOR THE WHISTLE, BUNDLE IN THE BED
SLEEP LITTLE BABY, AND YOU WONT WAKE DEAD
**************************************************************
A mother hides her family from slavery in the Blue Ridge Mountains. The children have grown up with a tale of a man known as The Letter Carrier. As the legend goes, he roams the mountains looking for children to sell as slaves. Painted against this historical backdrop, it is a raw, mysterious, and interpretive fable. Told through a cappella song, using original folk music, spirituals and a score using only natural sounds.
