Fiddlers' Green

Fiddlers' Green is a father and son storytelling team (one of the very few in the nation). Many years ago, the ol' man started telling stories. As soon as he could, he passed on many of those stories to his own wonderful boys. The boys quickly discovered, "Hey,  its fun telling stories!" Before too long,  they wanted to tell stories to all kinds of people and soon found that they too had the "gift of gab."

Dad took them under his wing and quickly discovered that both the boys had unique talents and skills for spinning tales. The rest, they say, is history -- the team was born!

The potbelly stove...

The true downfall of our society came when we removed the potbelly stove from the house and replaced it with forced-air heat. The potbelly stove offered us warmth and security. The stove served as the gathering place in the house, and when people in the house gathered, amazing things would transpire. The people in the house would talk to one another; they would communicate the happenings of the day; and most importantly, they would tell stories. These stories kept families together and helped the future generations understand right from wrong and good from bad. These stories offered explanations to the future generations as to who they were and where they had come from -- the stories provided identity in a world where it is easy to get lost.

Storytelling is...

Storytelling is the cornerstone of any community; in this ancient art form we find power and strength. We discover truth and understanding when facing a world that, at times, seems to be spinning out of control. Through it, we find comfort, healing, smiles, and laughter! And by sharing our stories, we build relationships that last a lifetime.
