SPOOKY TALES SHOWS at NH Libraries This Week! Free to the Public.

Posted on by Odds Bodkin

What other storytelling show is spooky but let’s you howl like a steam train’s whistle? Or thunder your hands in rhythm as supernatural horses chase a little boy? For Halloween, it’s FUN SPOOKY TALES FOR YOUNG FAMILIES coming up this Thursday and Friday in New Hampshire.

Thursday, Oct. 26 at 6 p.m. you can hear them at Bethlehem Public Library in Bethlehem, NH.

Friday October 27 at 3 p.m. you can hear them at Dunbarton Public Library in Dunbarton, NH.

Music on 6 and 12-string guitars and Celtic harp. A ghostly train tale from Colorado, a scary story from French Canada, and a wild adventure fairytale with witches from Italy make this kid-tested show tons of fun. Appropriate for young children.

Both shows are free to the public!

FUN SPOOKY TALES at WARNER TOWN HALL in NH October 28th

Posted on by Odds Bodkin

If “Imagination is more important than knowledge” as Einstein said, then pulling children from screens and urging them to use this natural human gift is a key parenting tool these days. Spoken word storytelling, especially with live music, hyper-stimulates kids’ minds, urging them to imagine. This builds neural networks that mature into creativity as they grow up.

With all that said, these are fun stories, too. Spooky, but child-manageable. The Banshee Train, The Girl Who Danced with the Devil and The Little Shepherd are the stories in this one-hour show. Music on 6-string guitar, 12-string and Celtic harp add to the enchantment.

This coming Saturday, October 28th at 3 p.m. I’ll be performing Fun Spooky Tales for Young Families. The show is sponsored by Schoodacs of Warner. Grab a great coffee or tea there and then step next door to the Town Hall!

Tickets are $10. Hope to see you there!
