Come, sit down, let me tell you a story.
I will tell you tales of old and of new. I will take you on journeys to
places you have fond memories of, or to places you have never been. I will
take you to old places filled with God and to young places filled with
love. We will go to the places of laughter and tears.
When I have told you all my stories, I will sit quietly and listen to your stories. And when we are through, we will sit together, quiet, in that space between dark and dawn and listen as the earth breathes her stories into the silence.
Come, sit down, let me tell you a story.

"You 'guys' are so good! What relief to put aside the cares of the world and listen to you two carrying on!.....You're fantastic! Probably better than you know. Don't feel modest about carrying on at great lengths, before turning to recorded story-tellers. The more you two tell us, the better! Them other guys are OK, but you're out of this world!
Thank you for a wonderful program!"

"Your stories and the transition from one to the other in this program was seamless. The flow was excellent. The stories carried us to many different emotional places."
Wess Chauncy - Storyteller and Cheryl Sminard at the Corner House Inn.
"Last night you allowed your love for storytelling to shine through every word you said - yes I liked your story, but I really liked the way you told it - I believe you gave everyone there last night a true gift of yourself." Ruth Niven
