Welcome to Auntmama’s web site.

What are you going to find here? All things full of hope, home and heart.

Like what? All things story for sure. Auntmama’s great-niece Paige started asking for family stories and the tales have not stopped. "All of them are true," Auntmama Moorman says, "even the ones I imagine."

Fans of KBCS.FM have come to love Auntmama's weekly stories connecting the past with the future to a highly diverse audience. The twenty-something’s hear history for the first time. Baby boomers share a common understanding of American life of the past five generations. "I know these stories, it sounds just like the neighborhood I grew up in," Mr. Holbrook of Mukilteo, Wash., called to say. Seattle weekly newspaper "The Stranger" has called Moorman "authentic without being cheesy" and KBCS's American Music Director says:

"I know a good song when I hear one.  For me there is almost an
immediate physical reaction. 
The hair rises on the back of my neck, I get goose bumps,
I smile and laugh or sometimes tears well up in my eyes. 
Good stories are like good songs in that they
ease in from the periphery, capture your attention, and there’s
a moment of instantaneous pleasure.  
Mary Anne Moorman’s aka Auntmama story sketches are exactly like a good song."

- Christine Linde,  American Music Director and co-host of Walkin’ the Floor

"I like the range that you cover - from the very personal stories about playing with
yo-yos to the wider picture of historical and political movements. 
It feels very integrated and whole to me."

- Jill Seidenstein
