Here's what will be happening on Sunday, July 31 at 2 p.m.
Chris will be Coaching, with Ed Hosting.
Lately, as part of my folklore studies, I have become fascinated by storytellers and their art. Storytelling blends tradition and improvisation in interesting proportions. I like to think of it as long-form songwriting, but on the fly.
Here are some examples I've watched lately:
Donald Davis
Sheila Arnold (to skip the introduction, go to 1:37)
These are long performances. You'll get the idea pretty quickly.
On Sunday, I will tell a story, The Traveler, that is about ten minutes long. We'll talk a little about storytelling and how it relates to songwriting and performance, and give everyone who's willing a chance to tell a story. The key thing is that it must not be written down, even as notes or an outline.
And we'll wrap up with our usual song circle. Needless to say, story songs a plus!
Here's how to get to the workshop:
