999 - round these parts "lobster" is also a verb. Once you know that, the sentence is a lot more clear. :-)

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.

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.

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

They left out the fact that I was a Maine Coastal Warden, and Captain of the patrol boat Explorer.

"who lobsters and serves on the board of the Maine Lobstermen's Association"

Funny sounding sentence, that one.

"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."

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

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!

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

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.
