Raelinda Woad's storytelling career began one night when she was walking by a Coffeehouse and saw a huge sign proclaiming: "Free brownies!" She rushed inside, neglecting to read the rest of the sign which said: "Yes, free brownies for all open mic folk singers!" and added her name to a list of hopeful folk musicians. The next thing Raelinda knew she was standing on a stage with a brownie in one hand, and a microphone in the other hand, facing a roomful of people who were expecting her to sing a folk song. It was then that Raelinda remembered that she did not know how to sing or play guitar. So she told a story. And the audience liked it so much that they even gave her another brownie. And, as fate would have it, the owner of one of New England's most prestigious folk clubs was in the audience that night and he ran up to her and cried, "You would be perfect to open the show for Holly Near!" "Who is Holly Near, and will I get another brownie?" was Raelinda's response. "She's a famous folk singer, and you get paid fifty dollars," he answered. "Fifty bucks!" cried Raelinda. "You mean folk musicians actually get paid? Well then, who needs law school, I'll make my millions on the folk music circuit!" And ever since then Raelinda has been performing her "true stories, that haven't quite happened yet" in about a zillion Coffeehouses across New England, she has shared the stage with all sorts of exciting famous people, she has been booked for Falcon Ridge and The Philadelphia Folk Festival, and even though she never actually made a million dollars, she did accumulate a treasures worth of friends and life experiences. And she considers herself a very wealthy woman today.
