The Many Moods of a Storyteller

My friend Tom  took these photos while his wife Judi and I were presenting our Celtic program. I thought they were a good example of storyteller's face while telling--and also the fact that a storyteller's hands are seldom still.

Be still for a second, Susanna!

and open your eyes!

One of those audiences where no one wanted to sit in the front row. What's up with that anyway?

I have no idea what part of what story or ballad this was.

But this, yes, I remember, talking about how the term "knock on wood" came about.

And about how the skull of your enemy used to be the vessel of choice for wassail.

Talking about one of the slides we showed.

Singing a sad ballad

same ballad

Remote in hand, talking about slides no doubt

Two of what I wonder?

And the end! Happy to be done, happy it was a good session,
and glad to be presenting it with my good friend Judi Tarowsky.
