Joe Healy, a good friend of mine and a great storyteller here in Pittsburgh was shot and killed along with several other people last week. He was the type of teller that when he described Mother's kitchen, not only would you smell the pumpkin pie but the the nutmeg would make you sneeze. He could tell any kind of story well, but was particularly fond of wisdom tales. If anyone has any they would like to offer. Reading isn't the same as hearing but still I'd really appeciate it. I know some people probably don't want to see this on here but I believe that storytelling is a relevant folk art (although I'm not very good at it). I rarely start threads of any type on here. If anyone would rather contact me off the 'cat you can reach me at rrayburg@hotmail.com Thanks alot. Rich
