The storytelling revival started in 1973 with the first National Storytelling Festival in Jonesboro, TN. I had been collecting mountain songs and stories since the late 1960s and started incorporating narrative tales into my music concerts, unaware that other folks were becoming professional storytellers.

In 1976 I was invited to tell at the National Festival. What a thrill it was to meet other performers using folk tales and true life stories in their shows. From then to now the storytelling revival has grown into a world wide phenomenon.

Here are my recordings and books of stories. There is something here for every age group, from children to adults.
