I write a fair number of story songs. I&#8217;m also a fan of storytelling. So we decided to do a co-bill with local teller <a href=\"http:\/\/ericalannclark.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Erica Lann-Clark<\/a>. After a few practices, it evolved into a collaboration we titled &#8220;An Evening of Stories and Story Songs&#8221;. Erica took the first set, and our band backed her up on each tale, either improvising music or tagging each story with a specific song. Here&#8217;s a clip of the story &#8220;Chiquitin&#8221;, mixed with the Bob Dylan song &#8220;I Shall Be Released&#8221;:<\/p>\n<p><center><a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/michaelgaithermusic#p\/a\/u\/1\/TABcfVRcucg\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/michaelgaither.com\/b2\/blogs\/media\/youtube2.jpg\" border=\"0\" alt=\"\" \/><br \/>\n<strong>Click to watch on YouTube<\/strong><\/a><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Our band took the second set, doing story songs off my two CDs.
