FEATURED TELLERSMING DIAZ
Ming Diaz is a storyteller who somehow became sidetracked by the real world into the realm of Electronics Technician for lo, these last 35 years. He enjoys presenting strange worlds to children and terrible shaggy dog stories to adults. In either venue, Ming has one goal; the middle-distance gaze, the incidental breathing, the open-mouth, lost look on the face of each spellbound listener.

BILL MAYHEW
I have been telling stories for as long as I can remember and to the public for more than thirty years, all over the place, to audiences from kindergarten to senior citizens.
My most common theme is humor. I like to tell funny stories. I tell some grim ones, some sweet ones and quite a few scary ones, but most of them make the audience laugh.
I tell multi-ethnic stories, mostly folktales, with audience participation where appropriate. I also tell classics such as Beowulf, Midas, and Odysseus.
My audio tape, (which I will be glad to sell you), called "D. Crockett, The Cyclops, and Me" has received critical acclaim from all of my relatives.
