Long Form: Donald Davis and Storycrafters

Donald Davis is an American storyteller, author and minister. Donald held a twenty-year career as a minister before he became a professional storyteller.  His long career as a teller and his promotion of the cultural importance of storytelling through seminars, master classes, and over 25 recorded albums has led to Davis being dubbed the "dean of storytelling". This episode features the recordings "Going to Grandma's" and "Old Man Hawkins' Lucky Day."  Barry Marshall, and Jeri Burns, PhD have been working together as The Storycrafters since 1991, and have been storytellers for even longer than that. Jeri and Barry believe in the time-tested wisdom of traditional stories, and share that wisdom with today’s audiences. They strive to honor world cultures by telling the old stories in respectful ways, often integrating the musical instruments, songs or dances indigenous to that region and adapting traditional tales with modern twists. This episode features the story, "The Two Brothers."
