Subject: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse performance From: kendall Date: 20 Feb 12 - 04:17 PM On March 15th aboard DiMillo's floating restaurant in Portland harbor, we will be doing a performance of songs and stories from working on the Maine coast. We hope to have a few other fishermen to fill out the bill. We did it last fall at a museum in Rockland, and now the Maine Maritime museum wants us to do it again.

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse performance From: bbc Date: 20 Feb 12 - 04:46 PM Duane D. & I will be in Maine at that time & will be attending. Hope to see some of you there. To make it easy, here's a link to information on the event. And here's a link to the DiMillo's Restaurant website. I wonder if they still have the $14 early bird specials. We might go for dinner before the 5:30-7:30 pm program on Thursday, March 15th! best, Barbara |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: Leadfingers Date: 20 Feb 12 - 06:52 PM Amos - HALF the problem is that WE are too far away ! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 20 Feb 12 - 09:06 PM We did it to keep the riff raff out. :-) Seriously, it would please me no end to see you all there. |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: ChanteyLass Date: 20 Feb 12 - 09:50 PM On March 10, Gordon Bok will be at Stone Soup in RI. I'll start a thread on that closer to the date. It doesn't look like Kendall will be with him here, though. Shucks! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: KT Date: 20 Feb 12 - 10:37 PM Wonderful!! I am so sorry to not be there for this. How about filming the performance? Wouldn't be hard to do.... KT |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: mg Date: 20 Feb 12 - 10:54 PM Yes indeed...please see if it can be videoed for posterity..prosperity? WHAT are the odds of two such handsome men being in the same place at the same time? Plus they sing and/or narrate so nicely too. mg |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 21 Feb 12 - 08:24 AM I'd be ok with filming it, don't know if any of the others would. Thank you, mg. You made my day! |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: maeve Date: 22 Feb 12 - 10:41 AM "Maine Maritime Museum will host its first fisherman poetry reading at DiMillo's On the Water on the Portland waterfront. This unique gathering, called Voices of the Sea: The Poetry and Song of Maine's Fishermen and Those Who Work on the Water will feature working fishermen and those who work on the sea reading their own original work, poems and songs that examine their water-borne careers through verse. Joining the fishermen on stage will be folksinger and sailor Gordon Bok. Among the singers and poets presenting their work are Frank Gotwals, a lobsterman from Stonington, Maine, Stefanie Alley who lobsters out of Islesford, Jack Merrill, who lobsters and serves on the board of the Maine Lobstermen's Association, and Kendall Morse, a former Coast Guardsman turned folk musician and humorist." http://www.mainemaritimemuseum.org/events/voices-sea/ |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: GUEST,999 Date: 22 Feb 12 - 11:22 AM "who lobsters and serves on the board of the Maine Lobstermen's Association" Funny sounding sentence, that one. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 22 Feb 12 - 01:05 PM They left out the fact that I was a Maine Coastal Warden, and Captain of the patrol boat Explorer. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: Dan Schatz Date: 22 Feb 12 - 02:55 PM Wow, I haven't been to DiMillo's since I was a kid. As I recall they had a good chowder back then, but the entertainment selection has obviously improved. Sorry to miss this one, but glad I got to enjoy both your company last weekend. Folks, you should hear Kendall recite "Lorena." There wasn't a dry eye in the room. Dan |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 22 Feb 12 - 08:19 PM Thanks, Dan. I have always loved that song.It was quite a leap for me to chance reciting it, it's a whole different ball game, and it is much harder to do than singing it. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: deepdoc1 Date: 22 Feb 12 - 08:33 PM Man, Kendall, I sure wish I could've got you and my dear departed friend Jim Gill together in a room. Jim was a Warrant in the CG and spent his time on lightships, then drove ferry's and tour boats on San Francisco Bay for years. He loved listening to and playing this folk and seafaring music and lore. Some of my favorite memories are of playing music with him on the beach in San Diego. That glimpse into your CG times just tantalizes the ears thinking of the stories you (and JG) could tell. I sure hope someone has gotten those stories down for posterity, sir. Too much history to let go. I hope to hear you and Gordon play. My mind boggles. Thanks for your work. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: Becca72 Date: 23 Feb 12 - 09:23 AM 999 - round these parts "lobster" is also a verb. Once you know that, the sentence is a lot more clear. :-) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: GUEST,999 Date: 23 Feb 12 - 09:29 AM Thanks, Becca. NOW I get it. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: SINSULL Date: 23 Feb 12 - 10:24 AM Purchasing tickets is easy. You can use Paypal or a credit card. They email the ticket to you to print. Real simple. Deepdoc1 - not sure who you are but I will look for you at DiMillo's Mary |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: lefthanded guitar Date: 23 Feb 12 - 01:04 PM I can't get up this far north, and hate that I have to miss it- I haven't seen Gordon Bok in ages, and I wish he'd make the rare venture and come to the Big Bad Apple once in a while. I know he does a lot of sea music, and hey, in case he's forgot, NYC is SURROUNDED by water. I'm not saying it's as clear and pristine as the waves off the Maine coastline, but water it is. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: Jeri Date: 23 Feb 12 - 01:14 PM LHG, Gordon has a gig in East Lyme, CT on Mar 17, Poughkeepsie, NY on Mar 18. Gordon Bok's webiste & schedule. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: GUEST,999 Date: 23 Feb 12 - 01:18 PM "I'm not saying it's as clear and pristine as the waves off the Maine coastline, but water it is." Hi, lhg. I ain't so sure ya can call the East River water, although I have heard there's some in it. If Jesus hisself came back today to repeat his stint on the Galilee, that's where he'd take the walk, imo. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 23 Feb 12 - 08:03 PM deepdoc, thank you so much. I have a few stories to tell on March 15th. I wish you could be there. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: deepdoc1 Date: 23 Feb 12 - 10:31 PM Well, sir, if the creek don't rise, I will be there. Looking forward to hearing the show. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: GUEST,999 Date: 23 Feb 12 - 10:35 PM If the boys have the brains god gave a turnip, they'll tape it. IMO. (Tape the show, not the turnip.) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: JedMarum Date: 23 Feb 12 - 11:12 PM Two of the best!! I wish I could be there. " ... don't botha with that. Time ya get back with that papah, that gull will be miles away!" |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 24 Feb 12 - 08:23 AM I'll see if we can tape it, but I need permission from the other performers. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: JedMarum Date: 25 Feb 12 - 12:01 AM permission? remember; it's always better to apologize then ask permission! ;-) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: Sandy Mc Lean Date: 25 Feb 12 - 12:24 AM All the best with it Kendall! I wish I could be there! I'll be passing through Portland about a month too late but I hope that someday a convergence will allow us to meet! |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: GUEST,Dani Date: 25 Feb 12 - 09:56 PM I'm with you, 999, I thought they were serving lobsters on a board! In any case, break a leg, all. Wish I could be there. Dani |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: catspaw49 Date: 25 Feb 12 - 10:45 PM Personally, I could care less............... That's the night they premier the new episode of "Wizards of Waverly Place" where Alex gets a case of the shits and Max loses his wizard power and the Gorog eats Tokyo. You can see how much better that is than a bunch of guys smelling of fishbait singing about the time the head blew up on the Merry Blowjob.................... Spaw |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 26 Feb 12 - 07:35 AM Don't you mean you COULDN'T care less? |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: catspaw49 Date: 26 Feb 12 - 08:16 AM No, I think I actually could care less. For instance, if you weren't performing, then I would definitely care less. Or if Gorog ate all the lobstermen aboard the Merry Blowjob, I would be even more interested in "Wizards" and less in listening to Bok peddle his cheap fans. Ya' know Kendall, I don't think those fans are UL listed. Spaw |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 04 Mar 12 - 08:59 AM Don't forget. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: maeve Date: 12 Mar 12 - 10:53 PM Very soon... |

Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: kendall Date: 13 Mar 12 - 08:30 AM An old girl friend, a couple of daughters and one of my ex wives will be there. :-) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: SINSULL Date: 15 Mar 12 - 01:26 PM I will be too - just poor old forgotten SINS. |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: jacqui.c Date: 15 Mar 12 - 02:02 PM I don't think you were forgotten Mary - look at what he said...... Suppose we'd better do some practicing.:0) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: ClaireBear Date: 15 Mar 12 - 02:10 PM Damned geography! Can I Skype in? Can't hurt to ask... |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: ClaireBear Date: 15 Mar 12 - 02:11 PM (Actually, to clarify, I wouldn't know how to do that, but I wish I could!) |
Subject: RE: Gordon Bok and Kendall Morse perform - 15 March From: catspaw49 Date: 15 Mar 12 - 02:49 PM All my best to the lobstermen of the Merry Blowjob! Spaw |
