Yes, it's been a long while since I've posted something for you related to story-telling. My life has been a wild ride lately--lots of ups and just as many downs, and then back UP again! Needless to say, the birth of my new grandson on February 10th was a very happy occasion. It brought home to me, once again, the need to continue the tradition of story-telling (both oral and written).
Today, while doing my usual and routine run through of email and other websites, I happened to see the "teaser" headline for this article about Trace Adkins and his college "crush." Sucker that I am for a good romance and feel-good story, I bit and clicked on the article. I'm sharing this link with you (not because of the serendipity of finding and connecting with an old "crush", though that was enough for me...LOL) to highlight that music and story-telling have a real connection.
Music many times facilitates great story-telling and anyone who has heard Mr. Adkins' songs knows that he is a wonderful story-teller. Check out the article and the information about his Music and Stories tour. I hope that everyone had a lovely Valentine's Day and that, perhaps, this will inspire you to tell some stories of your own!
About this Blog....
Storytelling over the decades, as a means of communication, has evolved. It has morphed from a revered art-form practiced by the storyteller--typically a community leader--into entertainer and entertainment. Has storytelling, as a means of communication, become a lost art? This blog will explore that question through the sharing of stories (of course!), research, and discussion. Enjoy and feel free to participate!
