The song entitled "The Circle of Stories" written by Gary Wittmann will bring you into his circle as he tells the stories. The tales throughout the program are multicultural folktales as well as some original stories and songs.
Many stories are handed down from grandparent to parents, and to their children. The circle of stories are never broken by the retelling of the stories for future generations as they listen once more.
The song tells of his love for stories and how that circle of life continues even today with his own children.
So as you listen and hear, sing and clap to the rhythms of the circle of stories---you will be part of the circle of stories.
Libraries, School, Camps, Clubs/Organization, Workshops, Motivation speaker for groups.

Grandfather and my parents were tellers of stories. As a child growing up meant listening to the whoppers and family folklore. My own experiences are woven into the stories. Experiences such as chasing monster away from my camping tent...snorkeling in the ocean in Hawaii...dancing with Indians...swimming a mile in a catfish infested lake...chasing pigs...growing an eigh inch beard in Hoosier National Forest...living in a haunted house...earning a Second Degree belt in Karate Tae Kwon Do...earning an Eagle Badge in Boy Scouts...being snowed in for three days during the blizzard...being a motivational speaker for adults and children...working with handicapped children for 33 years in my teacher career at a Junior High and Senior High School...working with inmates in a prison for their GED...earning an MS in Elementary Education and Minor in Special Education with Reading endorsement...instructing adults in speech training at the college level and in a national leadership training course...Instructor of the year for two years in the leadership course...receiving a Lilly Endowment Fellowship Award to reasearch storytelling in 1993...being a father of three wonderful kids...reading and singing and writing poetry and songs for my children for bedtime.
Stories are a part of my life. Stories are a part of our lives when we share them with others. So join Gary Wittmann and be part of his family in the Circle of Stories from Around The World.
