But they do not hire anyone from the State of Maine who hasn't learned his/her folksongs at his grandfather's knee. Apparently that rule does not apply if you're from out of state or from some other country or planet. Cheerily, Charley Noble |

But the line-up is impressive, and very diverse--- they're putting Jim Payne et. al. together with the Northern Neck Chanteymen. Clever. They do call it 'American' not 'Maine' so I guess that's the mission. |
