Brother Blue and his wife Ruth Hill photo Rick Franklin New Storytelling Programs! Innovative Storytelling Projects! (Scroll Down or Roll Down but don't stay down) I was told by my cousin Ida Kay that my South Carolina great-grandmother Mary would say to her grandchildren, "Bring me a cool glass of water, and I'll tell you a story." She had plenty of stories to tell. I follow in her spoken word tradition - - A tradition that has been in the making for more than 500 years - - The African American Griotic Tradition™. Call me if you have a cool glass of spring water. Keep Hope Alive! J. Jackson "The stronger the drumming the stronger the culture" © 1994 Baba J.
