What's New?

I'm going to try to start again and this time perhaps some continuity can really be established.
First, regarding reviews: I've been out of the main stream for so long that I could only review the "oldies but goodies." And perhaps I will do that as we go along.
However for now, I plan to just forward a few thoughts on an occasional basis.
Second: Three days before Halloween I got both a trick and a treat. Open heart surgery to replace a barely functioning valve has a way of keenly focusing the mind and giving the recipient (me) both an interesting trick (oops, you've got to have your heart stopped for awhile), and a treat (it will help you live a better life for another 10-15 more years.) I know now why I have had no stamina and very little breath for the last few years. But the good folks at the hospital and the cardio rehab are slowly getting me back into a mode of functionability. (It really helps that the ladies at the Cardio-Rehab are pleasant and pleasant to look at. Great people truly.)
Lastly for this posting: I've moved to Colorado and become a member of the Rocky Mountain Storyteller's Conference board www.rmstory.org and we are planning an event in May that we would like to invite all to attend. In conjunction with Swallow Hill Music in Denver www.swallowhill.com we are having Bill Harley in workshop and concert on May 15, 2010. Bill Harley will present a 2 hour workshop and there will be 2 other workshops, a storytelling concert of local/regional tellers topped off by a Bill Harley concert in the evening. Check the RMSC website for details.
How's that for blatant advertising!
More later and good stories always,
John Beach
