Silk, ruby, ebony and clover..

Once upon a long time ago, longer ago than the length of an elephant’s heartbeat, there lived a woman and a child. The woman always wore silk, red silk – a beautiful gown that clung just so, and as she moved, the whisper of it's message bought joy and happiness to her and to her son. This child loved his mother deeply, and willingly buried his face every moment he could in the folds of her red silk gown, breathing in… Continue

Don't look at the Cat!

This is a story I don’t tell on stage, I usually tell this to friends that have met this particular Cat. Years ago, I had more time on my hands than now days. One of my best friends and I used to go out to coffee every Friday, since we both had that day off for one reason or another. I would arrive around 10:00 am and we’d get some lunch at some place that had good coffee. Every morning as I would come over to pick him up he would open the door and as I came in he would say, “I’m gunna go finis… Continue

Fall Equinox (Yes, two months after the fact)

This was what I posted on the electronic commons: “The last full day of summer is at hand. Tuesday 4:16 Central the eggs can stand on end, the leaves have full permission to turn and depart their branches, the dark comes giddy and soon. Take time to thank your gardens, the beaches and tar, the pop songs that made the summer what it was. Kiss it goodbye. Next year, we'll meet again.” This was Judy Cooper Lyle response “Do you have to remind us???? I dread winter like the plague!!!!!!!” Yes, I d… Continue

Proverbial Paradise

Somewhere between 8 hour days sitting in a chair and my total loss of any spritual attachment I seek a proverbial paradise that eludes even the quickest wit. I see talent everyday, look at all the funny and distorted features that make such a varied plane of humans so wonderful to watch. I love my job, although my toosh does not agree and the hands too. Nothing a little massage can't handle. Not accepting any offers. My question is, what is this need to have glorified moments recorded in time?… Continue

A Bit More About Me and My Field

Good afternoon, everyone! I don't really know a lot about what it means to be a professional storyteller, but I do know what it means to have a story. I guess the reality is that I'm driven purely by a kind of fascination with what makes us human. I have a sort of unique vantage point on the world--part empirical scientist, part wide-eyed child. And I know that not everyone can see the world in those ways, no matter how hard they try. But I think it is important to find a way to make use of the… Continue

Remembering our soldiers who have died in so many wars.

Today is Rememberance Sunday in the UK - marked by services all over the UK and wreaths of poppies laid at memorials. Two minutes silence at 11 am. This is a video of a song which was sung by Donovan many years ago - I think it says everything that is needed.

Storyteller.net: Who Was Searched the Most?

Just did some research at http://www.storyteller.net pages. In October, Kansas storyteller Priscilla Howe had the most "hits" of any storyteller on Storyteller.net. Nearly 400 page views of her page and of those, 198 started on her page. That means, they were looking specifically for what she offers through name, location or content. More tellers should have premium… Continue

Hello, Layne, the Philosoph

It's a fairly straightforward thing to tell a story. You open your mouth, and if you're not tongue-tied, out it comes in one way or another. However, it's quite a different thing to cycle across Continental America on a flimsy looking contraption that in a Mary Poppins film would take off in a good breeze, and still tell stories. Especially when you're filled with so much novel imagery of America, having expended so many BTU's. So, Layne, congratulations on your Crazy Guy on a Bike adventure t… Continue

Angelina Jolie, My “Grendel’s Mother” is Uglier

For those of you who enjoyed Robert Zemeckis’ Beowulf, a rollicking good film adaptation of the old English poem––I certainly did (I watched it twice)––my 1-hour storyteller’s version of Beowulf may surprise you. Firstly, Ms. Jolie is much prettier than I am, but then again, I’m a man, and the “Grendel’s Mother” that screams from the fens in my version of the story isn’t pretty anyway, or supposed to be. Quite the opposite, in fact. Like Grendel himself, she’s much closer to an im… Continue

Your Storytelling Marketing: Oyster and Egg

If you are going to succeed in marketing, then you need to know the difference between oysters and eggs. Do you know this Aesop fable? "Once a dog was walking along a beach, daydreaming of eggs, his favorite food. As he walked along, he caught site of a small oyster and assumed that this round item, too, was an egg. He gobbled it up. Later that night, as he was troubled by stomach pain, he thought, "I deserve this pain for thinking that every round thing is an egg." Folks who move into… Continue

The perfect rock...

Long ago, in the time before time itself, a large round rock lay in the middle of a forest. The rock was huge, its surface was smooth, and when the rain fell on its top, it rang like a deep bell. Growing all around this rock was a myriad of flowers, all colours, all shapes, all sizes. A carpet of colour fit… Continue
