Description
Gamble Rogers was a prolific "Florida troubadour" and ambassador of Florida singer-songwriters. During his 30-year career, he performed in thousands of concert engagements throughout the United States. Widely recognized as a guitar virtuoso, he also played a pivotal role in the re-emergence of the art of storytelling and inspired many other storytellers. A second generation Floridian, Rogers was born and raised in Winter Park and later made St. Augustine his home. He began playing ukulele at 10 or 11, but took up the guitar when he became fascinated with the music of Merle Travis. He made his first appearance at the Florida Folk Festival in 1959 and became a near-legendary figure, generally closing out the program on Sunday nights. Rogers lost his life trying to save a drowning swimmer off Flagler Beach, and was posthumously given a Kiwanis Award for Bravery and a Carnegie Award for heroism. The Gamble Rogers Memorial State Recreation Area at Flagler Beach is named in his honor, as is the Gamble Rogers Middle School in St. Augustine. Rogers received the Florida Folk Heritage Award in 1993.

Description
Florida fiddler, and story teller, Richard Seaman was born on an orange grove in Kissimmee, Florida, in 1904. As a young boy, Seaman watched local fiddlers playing into the night as people square danced. He picked up the fiddle and learned the craft. Over the years, Seaman developed a repertoire of fiddle tunes that included waltzes and western swing, but the "old time" hoedown tunes he learned as a young man, exemplifies his contribution to the regional heritage of Florida fiddle playing. Seaman moved to Jacksonville, where he performed in several bands, including the Melody Makers and the string band, South Land Trail Riders. He and the Melody Makers also had a weekly radio program on WJAX. In 1955, Seaman put his fiddle down and didn’t pick it up again for more than 30 years until he met banjoist/guitarist Jack Piccolo. The two began to play together at the Florida Folk Festival in White Springs, and continued to do so regularly until Seaman’s death in 2002.

Description
Storytelling has always been a favorite method of keeping old knowledge and traditions alive. Some stories are historical in nature, while others are geared more toward moral lessons or explaining natural phenomena. Whatever the topic, storytelling is a craft that thrives on embellishments, dramatic flourishes, and stage presence. Good storytellers can often build up a considerable following. "Cousin" Thelma Boltin, Liliane Louis, and Lottie Shore are examples of popular Floridian storytellers.
