New Story for July!

[mythteller]

I've posted a new story for July on my blogcast "Shortening the Road". You can listen to the tale of the Samurai and the Teamaster at:

I don't think I've posted it here yet about my latest CD called "The Bard's New Hat", but now I am. This CD contains eight tales that I've recorded over the past two years, featuring the guitar-pickings of shaynealexis and one tale told by sarahcarotte .

I'll be hosting an official CD Launch at Hurley's Irish pub on July 25th at 19h30 and selling the CD ($10 each). This will also be the last night I'll be replacing Mike Burns whlie he's away on vacation. Mike will be back telling tales at Hurley's on the last day of August.

You can read more about the CD on my website
You can read more about the CD Launch on my blogcast

I hope we'll see you on the 25th of July!

I've been meaning to tell you that there's a typo in the tag line of your blog. "Shortening the Road
Giorraíonn beirt bóthar means "Two shorten the road". This blog features a monthly posting of fables, folktales, and lies as told by storyteller John David Hickey (aka Hobbes)."
It should read To instead...

Actually, "Two" is the proper translation for that irish expression. The implied word is "people", so the expression is "Two people shorten the road", which means two people sharing stories makes the journey seem shorter.

Oh. Perhaps, for clarity's sake, you might wish to specify that, because, to me, it sure looked like a typo! :)

You're actually the second person to point this out to me, so I've added the word "people" to the blog description. Thanks for the input!
