Abstract:

Ron Jones, a past president of the North Carolina Storytelling Guild, comes from a family of storytellers and has been immersed in the oral tradition all of his life. His style is straightforward, but he also uses his guitar to weave music into the tales he tells. He holds a master's degree in library science from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and worked twenty-two years in the Wake County Library System. Much of his storytelling has been connected with the Wake County Public Libraries and public schools. Now retired, he spends his time storytelling across North Carolina and in surrounding states.
