It's hard to
pinpoint the cause, but there seems to be an unique
change in the events we attend, perhaps it is the
economy, perhaps it is our desire to seek out
smaller more intimate
venues.............
STORY
TELLING IS ALIVE AND WELL IN THE
OZARKS
"Do we all enjoy stories these days,"
you may be asking? "No one listens to old people
tell tales anymore, do they?" And I say to you: Do
we watch television? Do we rent and buy videos? Do
we pay to go to movies? Do we pay to go to seminars
and conferences? Do we pay to send our children and
our grandchildren to school? Of course we do, we
all do, and will continue to do so until the end.
"But," you ask, "these aren't stories like Grandpa
and Grandma told, are they?" In slightly different
clothes, suitable to slightly different times, yes,
they surely are.

SOMETIMES
SMALLER IS
BETTER
Curiously
enough, people still have a powerful desire for the
small but important things in life. Almost anyone
you talk to hopes, one day, to get back to the
"simple life," to relax, lie back and just absorb
all that surrounds them. Sounds
..........Of course, the big
songs, the big stories, the big picture is still
highly important in our modern life and times. But,
guess what? There has been, for quite some time
now, a potent swing to the return of those olden
times..........
