Okay, this is a link to something in Massachusetts the week of July 20-27, 2002, and while Plymouth, Mass. is a few hundred miles south of the Maritimes, the chance to spend a week with Anita Best and Gerald and Tobias Pearson and Baxter Wareham (all of Newfoundland) and Sandy Ives (who wrote the book on PEI songs!) is the chance to learn Maritime songs with an intensity you're not likely to find farther North. Oh yes, and Sandy and Caroline Paton will be there, too.
