Well, Dan, (as you can guess) I am more of a storyteller than a folk singer, tho' I just about always include music both in my weekly storytimes at my library. My next "outside" job is at Whitman Mission National Park in a couple of weeks, telling Western stories, and I am trying to learn the (French) words to La Bastringue, as the early trappers working here for Hudsons Bay Company were all French Voyageurs -- I know the tune from playing in the contra band, and the DT thoughtfully provided the lyrics. I also do Utah's Goodnight Loving Trail, and others.
