Welcome to my world of Storytelling! |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Greetings! My name is Terry Rollins and I welcome you to my storytelling website. Here you will discover information about my repertoire, as well as a select list of places I've performed, some milestones in my storytelling career, comments about my telling, a memorial link to storytellers no longer with us, and finally my personal weblog and calendar. Folks say that storytelling is the world's oldest form of entertainment and I guess that's so. All cultures have keepers of their stories. We know them by many different names, but they are all basically the same: poets, shamans, troubadours, raconteurs, griots, and bards. We also call these storykeepers, 'grandma', 'grandpa', 'aunt' or 'uncle'. |

I grew up in a Southern family where storytelling was a way of life. Whether it was conversation at supper or at a holiday get-together, or talk heard at a big family reunion, no time together was complete without loads of stories and laughter being shared. I guess it was only natural that I, too, would grow up to be a storyteller. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||
So, come on in, find a comfortable place to sit, and I'll give you a tour of my world. The little quilt patches that you see on each page are taken from a real old-timey quilt that my grandmother and I made. Just click on a swatch to learn more about the particular topic listed. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||

"Storytelling is an excellent way of caring for the soul. It helps us see the themes that circle in our lives, the deep themes that tell the myths we live." -- Thomas Moore |
