The Kansas Sampler Foundation is trying to help get the word out on a storyteller with an interesting project.
Bob Spear (storyteller@kc.rr.com) wants to produce a Kansas-wide CD this summer. He is looking for good stories of Kansas history andculture that he can turn into song lyrics and set to music.
He wants to write ballads that capture the pride, challenges, fiobles, loves, nhates interesting people and places and especially the ghosts of Kansas and tell the Kansas story to the world.
He hopes to produce one album a year.
If you have an interesting story that might work, Spear would love to hear from you. If you know what references might help validate the story, be sure to include them. And make sure to alert him to copyrights if the story has ever been published.
