Willy Claflin
Yesterday we went to see Willy Claflin at the West Slope Community Library with some folks from our homeschool group. Willy Claflin is a San Francisco based storyteller extraordinaire. He's in town this week to participate in Washington County Library's "Hearing Voices" storytelling festival. It was the first of many shows he will do at different locations, and each show will be different. For adults, he's even having a special show (this evening) and a storytelling workshop (Sunday). The schedule can be found here: http://www.wccls.org/hearing_voices/2010/performances Jasper and I have treasured his CDs for years and it was wonderful to see him in person. 
Jasper was delighted to see Maynard Moose and Gorf the Frog, and to hear Gorf play the trash can drum with his flyswatter. But he was completely overjoyed when Mr. Claflin performed, "Hush Little Moosie Don't Bite And Kick", a touching bedtime lullaby we have played over and over and over which Jasper loves to quote. As I suspected, a CD doesn't fully capture Mr. Claflin's warmth and humor or the giggle fits he gives children, so don't miss your chance to see him in person! http://www.willyclaflin.com/index.php#
