Enchanting

Jane O. Cunningham is enchanting, when she tell stories for festivals, concerts,  conventions and special events.

Many audiences who have heard her tell stories call her “miss jane”.

I can hear her voice

As a child, I was shy and would roll up in the folds of my mother’s skirts. I did not want anybody to see me.

Mother in hopes of encouraging me to be more out going enrolled me in dance class at 4 years old. I made it through the recital.  My teacher said I to take tap dancing and ballet the next year.  I refused! Tap dancing was for boys.

After I quit dance lessons, Mrs. Marguerita Harlow became my piano teacher.  Seeing my nervousness at my first piano recital, Mother gave me some advice.   I can still hear her voice as she says,
“Jane, you must treat the audience like guests in your home. Make sure they are comfortable.”
