JONESBOROUGH 2012, PART THREE

Here are links to the websites of some of the featured tellers. Most of these folks also have video clips on You Tube that are worth checking out. Often their websites have links to the videos to make it easier to find them.

These professional tellers are entertaining, motivational, inspiring and often very funny. Their body of work is significantly shaping the face of storytelling in the United States. I encourage you to check them out and enjoy their unique styles and personalities.
