Jonesborough

 Our final stop on this trip was in Jonesborough, Tennessee, where we spent a couple of days filming for the Virtual 49th National Storytelling Festival.  The proper decision had to be made to bypass the in-person festival due to the very high spike in COVID cases in Tennessee and the area surrounding Jonesborough.  During this past week several tellers who live close enough have been in town filming while others are being filmed where they live, even outside the US.


In addition to telling stories for the festival, I got to play with the Jonesborough Novelty Band while we recorded music for the festival.  The leader of the novelty band, Terry Countermine, even had Barbara McBride-Smith join us for a special song that will be featured at the festival.  This completed our time of fun!
