When we come to the National Storytelling Festival in October each year, many of the local residents are working so hard to make that weekend happen that they may see little or none of the Festival itself. So, about twenty years ago, I started coming back to town in the springtime and performing at the Visitors Center for the (mostly) local audience.
The first years we did a single night, but, soon we had to move to two nights. At the beginning of this week Trish and I were back there in town, staying with our dear friends, Sandy and Terry Countermine, so I could tell stories Monday and Tuesday evenings.
We were pretty much sold out for both evenings and it was a lot of fun.
Jonesborough is one of those places we call “home” as this year will be my forty-fourth year to be on stage at the October Festival. We have such good friends and memories associated with this dear place.
Besides the National Festival in October, we will be back at the Visitors Center in the spring of 2024!
