General Note/Comment

11 audio cassette recordings. Storytellers spoke between 10:00am and 5pm at the Storytelling Tent. (The Storytelling Auditorium area, which featured some of the same storytellers, was not recorded.) Newsom served as the emcee. Several of the storytellers also sang songs. Moye and Hendricks both labeled themselevs as "Cracker storytellers," and Spitzer focused on Jewish-centered stories.
