Genteel & Bard | A Fine Southern Lifestyle

Hi, friends!      "By the time we've poured our second cup of coffee and settled into the cushioned wrought-iron chairs on our front porch, the bride and her ladies will have shown up, looking all like flower petals twirling and floating into position for pictures and poses and procession. There's nothing quite like witnessing the eternal union of strangers in the front yard. It's a sweet happening. A very Savannah sort of thing."   As always, we open with an original Genteel & Bard piece - and then dive right into some southern-style musings.

Hi, friends!      "To be a Southern Gentleman is not God-given. It's earned through lessons of "yes ma'am", opening doors, and looking into people's eyes with genuine earnest. It's leading by faith. It's not fighting with words, but proving yourself through action."   For more great storytelling and Genteel & Bard Lifestyle, go to https://genteelandbard.com  #genteelandbard - join the Genteel & Bard Lifestyle on Social Media.

Hi, friends!    "For Oglethorpe, perhaps, founding Savannah was closure for the death of his dear friend Robert Castall, a tragic casualty from small pox in debtors prison. Perhaps it was a way to flee working in slave trade, an act he deeply hated. James was a man of honor and care.  One unopposed truth, this planned utopian city would seal James Oglethorpe's name forever in the hearts of those he helped and those he welcomed."   As always, we open with an original Genteel & Bard piece - and then dive right into some southern-style musings.

Hi, friends!    Although beautiful by nature, the Hostess City didn't have much of anyone to host.  Then there came the story of a man with a box of chocolates - waiting for a bus, and dreaming of his beloved Jenny.   As always, we open with an original Genteel & Bard piece - and then dive right into some southern-style musings.

Hi, ya'll. We're so happy for the opportunity to spend a little time with you. It's our hope that these few minutes of your day will be relaxing and enjoyable ones, and that over this virtual space we can be truly connected in the best sort of way. There's just something about graveyards. We end up spending quite a bit of time around them with our Savannah Walking Ghost Tours. But aside from the usual creepy way - it's easy to be affected by them - in a more, poetic, thoughtful sort of way.

 Hi, ya'll! So, today we're talking about what it's like to be a local living in Savannah's haunted historic district. "Forgotten faces hoped to be remembered.

Hi, ya'll! We're waxing a little bit poetic over here today. But then, when aren't we? Savannah is a stunningly beautiful city, and we're so blessed to live here. But then, there's so many ways to appreciate the beauty of the South.  "Is there anything more southern gothic than a Savannah Live Oak? Or sometimes, when your feet lead you in the right direction, and there's a very particular kind of Savannah quiet hanging on the humidity." - Brenna Michaels   For more Genteel & Bard Lifestyle, join us on social media - or over at https://genteelandbard.com   Genteel & Bard | Fine Savannah History & Ghost Tours

"A genteel man has done more than opened a door." - T.C. & Brenna Michaels GEN`TEEL : polite, refined, respectable, or well mannered. Hi, ya'll! We're so happy to spend a little time with you.  A lot of time in the south is spent thinking about, talking about, and putting our manners into action.  But what is that really gives the sophisticated south, that certain "genteel" quality?   For more Genteel & Bard Lifestyle, join us on social media, or over at https://genteelandbard.com   Cheers, friends!    Genteel & Bard | Fine Savannah History & Ghost Tours

So, you may have heard. But our ole' lady of a city, Savannah, has a reputation for knowing a bit about a party. But then, that's quite a Southern thing isn't it? "Welcome to Savannah. What do you drink?

Hi, friends, We're so happy to spend a little time with you today. Here in the South we know a thing or two about making friends - and making sure those friends know they're loved. And the stories that come from those relationships - well, those are the stories that make us who we are.    "Savannah is home to those who pray for each other. Home to those who look into each other's eyes, and smile, and ask, How are you?, and they really care to know." - T.C. & Brenna Michaels   Genteel & Bard | Fine Savannah History & Ghost Tours

Hi, ya'll. We hope today has treated you well. We love so much being able to spend this time with you - sharing a bit of our world. Stories are what unite us, make us feel less alone - remind us that we're loved - even if that love doesn't look the same for everyone.  We've been blessed enough to host guests from all over the world here in Savannah on our walking history tours, and ghost encounters. Every guest has such a beautiful story of their own to share. Even the quiet ones.   "This Is Savannah. We value honesty. We're born with romance in our blood. And we all have tremendous pride for where we've come from." - T.C. & Brenna Michaels     For more Genteel & Bard Lifestyle and Storytelling, join us on social media, and at https://genteelandbard.com   Genteel & Bard | Fine Savannah History & Ghost Tours

Hi, friends, It's great to be here again with you. The South is a place of unique sounds, and particular lifestyle. And that classy, breathtaking, genteel picture you get in your mind of the old, simpler times - that's Savannah. Today. Because we haven't changed much. And only for the better since 1733.   "The clop of horse hooves on the Savannah cobblestone ushers my daydream to a time of easy paces and southern genteel. There is really nothing quite so classy as simplicity". -- T.C.
