When officials come to disinter a noted Civil War figure, they receive an a horrible surprise. The body is still bleeding. From the Mouth. But why. The wife and the gravedigger know. But they are not talking. It is up to the doctor among the group to find out why this could be happening. And he does.

Typical Bevis!
Revisado: 05-09-17
Would you listen to The Devil Remembers again? Why?
I"m not sure I'll listen again to the 23 minutes of this story. I think I got it the first time thru. But then, maybe once is not enough and since I"ve still got the audio in my library.....maybe I will.
What did you like best about this story?
It's typical Bevis--thoughtful, witty, respectful of humanity, and memorable.
What about Gene Tognacci’s performance did you like?
Very nice pacing, accents not overdone, but also not too distinctive--listening to a character out of context would make it hard to know whether it's the doctor, the gravedigger, or the mayor. But the similarity wasn't distracting, since the text contains the "said the doctor" and the other flags.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
Well, the discovery of who we are hearing about and the memories and images I have associated with that are moving, yes.

There were, Peter Thompson notes, some 150 synonyms for inebriation in common use in colonial Philadelphia and, on the eve of the Revolution, just as many licensed drinking establishments. Clearly, 18th-century Philadelphians were drawn to the tavern. In addition to the obvious lure of the liquor, taverns offered overnight accommodations, meals, and stabling for visitors. They also served as places to gossip, gamble, find work, make trades, and gather news.

What made the experience of listening to Rum Punch & Revolution the most enjoyable?
...because I'm the narrator; but this book was a pleasure to have produced--informative, insightful, and current in the sense that the oligarchy we are currently seeing in our national government (not to mention states and local) has a long tradition and cannot be "corrected" merely by wishing and hoping. The correction needs to come thru another "revolution" where the power is actually invested in the people.
What about Gary Roelofs’s performance did you like?
Wow! I was great--clear, articulate, and matching the ideas with intonation and emphasis perfectly! (All kidding aside, I enjoyed narrating this book.) And I hope that hundreds of listeners enjoy it too!
