StoryCorps founder at The Mahaiwe

storycorps logoDave Isay -- the founder of StoryCorps, AKA, the Morning Edition segment most likely to make you get a little teary -- will be at The Mahaiwe in Great Barrington August 5. Tickets are on sale now -- they start at $25.

Along with Isay's appearance, there will be opportunity for people to record their own stories. Blurbage:

In conjunction with the Isay event, the Mahaiwe and Great Barrington Fair Grounds will sponsor a three-day opportunity (August 7 though 9) for local people to interview and record stories with loved ones--both through a formal StoryCorps recording process and through supported use of the newly-launched StoryCorps mobile app.

It sounds like details on how to sign up aren't quite ready, yet -- so keep an eye out for them if you're interested.

As you know, Great Barrington is just over the Massachusetts border, about an hour drive from Albany.
