The List

Per Merriam-Webster
Raconteur; noun, a person who excels in telling anecdotes

"Did I ever tell your the story..."

If a Ranconteur excels in telling anecdotes then I again claim it as 
an objective and not a title.  I would like to be a good story teller. 
I have always felt the pull of the spoken word.  Partly because of the 
strong foundation of maintaining Oral Histories, often in the form of 
ancedotes, parables, and  the like.  Partially due to the complete 
Language as a purveyer of Social and Cultural meaning.  Each word 
carries both the current-use meaning but also all of its social and 
cultural weight.

Anyone who has done any public speaking knows that it can be an 
exhilarating.  The positive re-enforcement of having an audience's 
attention.  The directness of communication.  Even when speaking to 
large numbers there is an intimacy, just you and each individual 
listener.  The telling of the story is its own reward.

The telling of anecdotes, that is another matter

M-W; anecdote; noun: a usually short narrative of an interesting, 
amusing, or biographical incident

If I am to excel in telling anecdotes I have to learn to tell the 
plain everyday common truth.  It is the shared thread of Truth that 
resonates with each of us.  The resonance that makes the telling of  
an interesting, amusing, or biographical story appropriate for the 
given setting.
