Good Morning Rome!

I get to start my morning with Elizabeth Davis on WLAQ 1410 talking about our Fifth Annual Big Fibbers Storytelling Festival... the school shows start one month from today! And for all you grown-ups out there, Andy Offutt Irwin and Bil Lepp will have you rolling off your seats with laughter during their public shows at the Rome City Auditorium on Friday and Saturday, March 15 and 16. I'll be on with Elizabeth during the 8:30 segment of her program.

From Elizabeth Davis this morning:

I look forward to some tall tales from Terrell Shaw of the Ridge and Valley Tellers during the Monday edition of Good Morning Rome with Elizabeth Davis on TalkRadio WLAQ - AM 1410! The show goes on air at 7:05 am. Listen locally on the radio and wherever you are in the world at www.wlaq1410.com!

Gleaning Facebook: Elizabeth Davis & Peach State Storytelling Festival

I had a great time talking about the Peach State Storytelling Festival with Elizabeth Davis on WLAQ this morning.

Elizabeth, born and raised in the radio business, is a wonder to watch and listen to. She flips those switches meshing interviews with politicians, ads, network updates; throwing in weather and bits of commentary on breaking news events; all the while dashing back and forth to refresh her coffee or grab some piece of info she needs or chatting with me, never missing a beat or allowing any "dead" time.

I hope some Rome folks will make the one-hour dash down I-75 to join us for Peach State. It will be lots of fun! Bil Lepp and lots of local and regional tellers will intrigue you with tales of all varieties. Check out the Facebook link above!

 I had a great time telling tales and talking about storytelling this morning with one of the drama classes at Coosa High. One more go-around this afternoon.

For our Ridge & Valley Tellers: There is no August meeting scheduled. We have a plannning session scheduled for September, but illness has intervened in one of our families and we'll wait a few days to assess whether that can go on as planned, be postponed and rescheduled, or simply be moved to another location.

There's some great storytelling on tap for the rest of the year:

• Listen to WRGA for Nelle Reagan's Talk of the Town tomorrow at noon. The "Storytellers" will be there (usually some combination of Bob Harris, Delmas Franklin, Gary Greene, and me)

• Our Christy Davis is the director of Cave Screams Ghost Tours the wonderful ghost-story event that is expanding to two-days this year.

• Tellebration will occur on November 21. Watch for details of tellers, venue, etc.

I'm so excited about Cave Screams! If anyone is interested in being a tour guide or storyteller for one or both nights, please let me know. I take good care of my tellers, and I know you guys are the best in Northwest Georgia, so you will definitely get the billing y'all deserve!
