We have been telling stories tandem and solo since 1979. Tandem telling is two or more tellers sharing one story. Here we bring together our experience with solo telling, improvisation, story theatre, and cooperative recreation, all of which we also teach. Sandy also teaches ESL. Tom sells children's books.
We are active in Quaker Meetings, Kiwanis service projects, and Alternatives to Violence Project. We manage the quakerstorytellers.org web-site.
Our first CD, Words to the Wise, was released 11/20/2003. It contains twelve wisdom tales from original and traditional sources selected for ages eight through adult.
Our second CD, Words Go Questing, was released 2/18/2005. It contains seven tales of seeking and finding [six short and one much longer mythic fairy tale in two parts] also selected for ages eight through adult.
Hi, Tom and Sandy - i wanted to "invite you" as "friends" but i can't seem to figure out how to do it. Long time, no see! i haven't been to FGC in many years, but i think of you two often.

Hello Sandy &Tom! Nice to meet you. Thanks for reading my blog.
The verb "chiner" in French, means "going hunt antiques". In this case the journalist plays with words, the name of the city is Chiny. Juillet 17 is not a special day, it's only the date of the festival in 2007.
It's one of the oldest storytelling festival in Europe, a beautiful international party of words in Belgium!
Yours,
Coralia.
Tom and Sandy - "Hi" from some of your friends "down under". I have fond memories of the lovely meal we shared with the two of you and our Auckland storytelling friends, and the stories we shared after.
Sandy and Tom, how fun and nice to see you on this web source, I find this Ning quite friendly and inspiring - thanks, being my friend here and in our Bay Area committee of storytellers. Check out the Storytelling website I listed on my page, finally got the Gala and the story you told in the mix of 'comic life'.
Storytelling on Sunday 5-6 p.m. Pacific Daylight Time on KSVY 91.3 FM http://www.ksvy.org/home.htm the last story on the playlist is our tandem telling of “Yumi’s Courage” [13 minutes] written by Wayfarer Tomm.
I know many Quakers in Argenta, BC, Canada, but have not attended any meetings myself. I hold them all in the highest respect. I will check out your quakerstorytellers site. Thanks.
Thanks for the invite, Tom and Sandy! I believe I saw that you two are leading another storytelling related workshop at Annual Gathering this year (or is my feeble mind making it all up?) I remember fondly attending the performances of your workshop members in Amherst. We won't be there this go-round, but Bill and I are joining the planning committee for Annual Gathering 2009, which will be at Blacksburg, Va., (Virginia Tech) again. You're such a gift to all of us!

Thanks for your note. Yes, stories are examples, deep teaching about these important topics, presented in a way that people can really take it in. Wonderful work.
What part of CA are you in? I grew up in Pasadena and most of my family is still in CA.
