Day 5025: Storytellers

As one of the storytellers here on WordPress, I’m figuring out, here and now, how to tell today’s story.

Last night, I saw one of my favorite storytellers, Kathy Griffin.

I have a story to tell about that last photo. Before Kathy Griffin came on stage last night to tell her stories, we were repeatedly admonished about not using our cellphones during her storytelling. However, when she was telling stories about performing in Minnesota, she asked us to turn on our phones to record ourselves chanting “Fuck Ice!” five times. The people who hadn’t turned off their phones were ready to record that chanting but I wasn’t; it took too long for my phone to power up. However, I did snap that photo of a brave storyteller before turning my phone off again.

Several people kept using their cellphone during the rest of Kathy’s storytelling, but that’s another story.

I think Kathy Griffin is great storyteller because she fearlessly tells the truth about herself, celebrities, politicians, and the state of the country.

I’m a storyteller who communicates with words and pictures, so here’s the rest of the story.

Here’s what I find when I look for storytellers on YouTube:

Thanks to Kathy Griffin and everyone who is here for this storytellers post, including YOU!

Day 3234: Better Days Ahead

“Better Days Ahead” is a Pat Metheny tune which I have heard many times during better days. Last night, during a Boston concert where we all wore masks and showed proof of being COVID-free, Pat performed “Better Days Ahead” with incredible keyboardist James Francies and fabulous drummer Joe Dyson.

In days ahead, that video might get deleted from YouTube, so I better include this version of “Better Days Ahead.”

Here’s a 1989 version of “Better Days Ahead” with the late, great keyboardist Lyle Mays.

Last night, I was fantasizing that Lyle Mays was present in the Wilbur Theater, even though he’s in a “better place.”

I hope there are better days ahead for all of us. In the meantime, which of my images for the day are better?

I assume there are better November National Days ahead, because I don’t drink Cappuccino or Harvey Wallbangers.

There are better days ahead next week for my son Aaron and me, because we are taking a trip together to New York City.

What are your thoughts and feeling on better days ahead?

Gratitude makes all my days better, so thanks to all who follow this blog, including YOU.
