History
of the Jonesborough Storytellers Guild |
| In
the summer of 1994 David Joe Miller of Jonesborough Tennessee,
placed a small notice in the newspaper inviting local storytellers
to form a professional guild. Six tellers responded. Besides David
Joe Miller, the founding members of the Jonesborough Storytellers
Guild were: |
|
|
- Linda Poland (Telford, TN)
- Carol Huebner (2005)
- Jack Huebner (2005)
|
|
| Six
months later the JSG began offering weekly concerts in cafes along
Jonesborough's Main Street. Since 1994 the Guild has continually
given residents and visitors in Tennessee's oldest town the
opportunity each week to share humanity's most ancient form of
communication. - story. |
