MOST
BORING OF ALL
Who said--You can fool all the people some of the time, some
of the people all of the time--Oh well,
you know the rest. Don´t forget, certain things must be taken
with a grain of salt.

received not only one, but two standing ovations on opening night"
Oakland Tribune
"An
important American Talent...unique...electric...soul stirring...brilliant...I
was spellbound"

hope you know how popular you were with every audience, how you
ignited the crowd every time you stood up,
how magic and compelling you were (and are) as a storyteller...we
were in the palm of your hands"
Peg O´Sullivan
Connecticut Storytelling Festival

you for your superb performances. Everyone loved you. Your personality,
compassion, and love for
others came through every time someone talked with you, or listened
to one of your stories."

Spiritual singing was one of the most memorable hours of my life"

because we could all relate to differences and equality"

Glistening Waters Storytelling Festival, New Zealand
"You
have the uncanny ability of making every single member of the audience
feel like you are talking to them personally, as if in their own
front room and then suddenly being able to switch gear to the role
of orator addressing a whole hall of people. You are indeed a communicator
extraordinary!"
Paul Armstrong
Music Hall, Portsmouth, New Hampshire
"I
was sure impressed by how many subtle but critical messages you
were able to communicate"

at the conference.´"
