Elinor Benjamin, Storyteller

Recordings

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.   -  Arthur C. Clarke

The new Plague Years found us telling stories in a different way.  When we could no longer listen to stories in cozy rooms near home, we began to visit storytelling sessions all over the world, listening to stories told by old friends and new friends,  thanks to the technical magic of ZOOM.  Not everyone is comfortable with this, and as we all know, there is no new technology that does not bring with it many downsides, but we have been grateful for these opportunities to stay connected, and we've kept doing it. At times we have even been been able to experience a little magic.   It has also allowed for the capturing  and sharing a little of the experience in the form of a new sort of "field recording" - certainly more sophisticated than my old "field recordings"recorded on VHS from the local cable network back in a previous century.
