"... rough edged, guitar pickin' storyteller,
tickled funny bones, and plucked heart strings at our winter writers
retreat."

Who I Work With - Audiences
Who I work with . . . like
asking the Parish Priest to describe his flock; all wonderful sinners.
They come to church with different wants and needs, maybe because of
the Priest or for the sacraments, but religious tradition is where
those wants and needs are satisfied.
Oral Tradition
is much the same.
There is a triangle that has to come together for Story to work; three sides
- Teller, Story, and Audience. Story satisfies the need to be entertained, to
be enlightened, and for socialization. Take away any side of the triangle and
all you have are two wonderful sinners, searching for a purpose.

Sycamore enthralls these young children
with Story |
People
who want or need Story, for
their family, for their students, for their friends, employees
or clients; they come to me. People ask about Sycamore
and Story in
their own words but what I hear always translates the same. “Can
you entertain and enlighten us? Can you help us close the triangle?” And,
I work with them. We agree on a fee; it's easy. I am going to tell
Story anyway.
Sycamore has closed the Story triangle
for K-12 students from Nome, Alaska to
Naples, Florida, for residents at Retirement Communities in Missouri,
for festival audiences in New Mexico and Kansas, as well as for
Sunday School Classes in Michigan and English language students in Argentina.
He loves to travel, to be on the road, making new friends, sharing the magic
of “There was a time.” Catch him when he is passing through your
town. Story is the perfect reason to go where he’s never been, and to re-visit
old friends and audiences.
