As in the US, storytelling is a small presence in most places. To call someone a "big name" in storytelling is to say that very few people have actually heard of them! But it is something we need, to keep the old stories alive and create new ones for future generations. There is a connection that happens with storytelling that is unique, I believe--it takes a roomful of strangers and makes them a community, just through the power of the spoken word.Granny Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01129064020727041161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-11442436579920317812009-04-07T08:53:00.000-04:002009-04-07T08:53:00.000-04:00Larry was thrilled, Aaron. he had his ramps! and h...Larry was thrilled, Aaron. he had his ramps! and he got a whole load more yesterday.

Hope you felt okay during your conference and presentation. <BR/><BR/>I have heard that some allergens can cause tiredness, nausea, and possible dizziness the next day. <BR/><BR/>A different compound found in these parts this time of year can make your car smell like wild onions cross bred with a garlic patch.<BR/><BR/>I bet that was a heck of a ride home!!!<BR/><BR/>I think Larry was happy.<BR/><BR/>AaronAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2634969979683449053.post-47929471367237048552009-04-06T02:05:00.000-04:002009-04-06T02:05:00.000-04:00It sounds like an interesting and enjoyable weeken...It sounds like an interesting and enjoyable weekend, I'm not sure how much of a story telling tradition still exists in UK, I've seen an Irish story teller on a TV programme about Celtic myths and he was brilliant and I think there probably are still quite a few storytellers/ bards among the Celtic nations. It certainly isn't a mainstream thing though which is a pity as the old tradtions of passing down family history and legends orally did a lot to bind communities together I think. Maybe I haven't found any storytellers because I haven't looked properly, I shall have to see what I can find.Rowanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13679130612798888266noreply@blogger.com
