I had time to listen to them all, uninterrupted, this evening. Two of your songs! That is great stuff, Mary! I really liked Dave Densmore's piece, too.

And she sang another really lovely song that was a sailor's blessing called Ave Maris Stella.

As well as other neat ones. The locals liked the local songs like Astoria's bar and the Ilwaco fishing song. I'm pretty sure that Astoria's bar is already in the database, and maybe we can talk mary into posting the other one.
What do you think?
Blessings,
Barbara

Ilwaco? Sure. In fact there is going to be a little soiree in Ilwaco on the 13th, done by a great Seattle and also local songwriter and singer whom you probably know but he can announce himself. Contact me if you would like a place to stay. mg

The Fisher Poets Gathering BBC radio 4 - 2014

This year, for the first time, a poet came from beyond the United States.
Katrina Porteous lives in the Northumbrian fishing village of Beadnell. For years she has worked with, recorded and written about fishing people there.
She hears astonishing work:
from Dave Densmore, on his boat Cold Stream;
from Moe Bowstern, an extraordinarily prolific writer about the lives of fisher women;
from Richard King who fishes in Alaska, and farms in Hawaii.
She meets, too, Lloyd Montgomery, an Aleut fisher poet.
