Ok, here's an experiment.I just had a person come to mind from my past, that I am wondering if the Fediverse might help me find: a general web search so far has not come up with anything.I've been doing decolonisation work, and one aspect of indigenous culture which I've been pondering is oral storytelling. That cultural method of passing information survived for so long before the written word was invented and became dominant (and here you are, reading this, thanks to this technology).When I was a travelling in the 90s, I met a storyteller going by the name of Dorje busking in Edinburgh. He had previously been a lawyer in Lancashire, had created a room in his home that was a "padded cell", and at some point decided that whole career was bullshit and he gave up everything and became a travelling storyteller. He played a small lap harp, which he had a case for and which I decorated for him. He had a partner called Abby at the time, they had a dog.I'm wondering if this sounds familiar to anyone here in the Fediverse? Tagging below for relevance, boosts appreciated if you are an older Fediversian and are UK based.#UK #scotland #Lancashire #storyteller #storytelling #Dorje #DorjeStoryteller
