Michael Coolen is an experienced and entertainment storyteller, including stories based on African myths and legends, and of his own particular experiences while living and working in Africa.

The first story comes from Zimbabwe.  I am telling the story to a class of new music students and some faculty. I use some of the faculty names, which causes a lot of laughter among the students.

The second story recounts an experience I had in West Africa driving my Thing on a research trip.
