	Betty Ann Wylie Imagine a gentle southern belle with a mischievous imp hidden deep inside and you'll be prepared for the delightful tales of Betty Ann Wylie. After college graduation, Wylie claims she was a housewife who read a lot instead of cleaning the house and going to the grocery store! In the process, she filled her mind and heart with enough stories to share with all the world. Today, audiences' range in ages from two to 92 and her material reflects that diversity. She perks up as Mother Goose, tones down for a Eudora Welty tale, and gets downright silly with a spoonerism titled Gone With the Gind. No matter what the tale, listeners leave Wylie's performances smiling and nodding!
