Habersham EMC Preserves the Art of Storytelling
Imagine yourself in the Georgia Mountains beside the fireplace or around a campfire, listening to parents and grandparents telling stories of how things used to be, when they were growing up.
John Kollock, legendary patriarch of the Georgia Mountains and the comforting voice of the South, is the person entrusted with that gift for our generation and beyond, through the foresight of Habersham EMC in celebration of their 75th Anniversary. Each word spoken has a purpose. You can hear the humor, the seriousness or sadness, joy and happiness in the octogenerian’s deep comforting voice.
Limiting their selection to 75 places in the Northeast Georgia Mountains, Habersham EMC President/CEO Todd Pealock asked artist and visionary John Kollock to collaborate with writer, historian Emory Jones to tell the history, tales, fact and folklore about these wonderful places to see and visit.
The art of storytelling often lost in our world of emails, texts and twitters, is preserved. These 75 stories will now be heard, told, and retold to family and visitors for generations to come. The four CDs and booklet are available at BabyLand General Hospital. SRP $29.99.
