It's time again for the National Storytelling Festival in Jonesboro, Tennassee, on Oct 4-6, 2013. It's in direct conflict with the Getaway, of course, and I expect few of us will be able to attend. So here are some stories from featured tellers:


Syd Lieberman tells about Nazis in his own home town. Most of Syd's stories are available for free download here.


Diane Ferlatte telling a Brer Rabbit story.


Ed Stivender with his banjo.


Milbre Burch with a dramatic telling of an Irish story
