Catching up

It's hard to believe that it's been two years since my last blog entry! A lot has happened in that time. We have one CD published, John Earthy's Tavern, a compendium of songs from (mostly) Maine history. 
The notes on the songs are so extensive that we opted for a large format booklet (16pp 8.5x5.5) Not only that it's set in 10pt type - no more magnifying glasses!

We also toured down to Florida a couple of times and have played some wonderful events on those tours in Homosassa, Inverness, Sanibel and also Charleston, SC, Fredericksburg, VA. We also managed to perform in Cape Breton the last three years.








Construction report
We finally moved all the tools out of the Great Room and finished it up. This was a major undertaking! Everything that had accumulated in the space over the three previous years had to be moved out so that we could grind and seal the floor, case the windows and make all kinds of other dust.




Part of the reason we built this space was so that we could host house concerts. We have has two so far. In April we had Magical Strings from the northwest and in May Anne Lister, form Wales.

If you look closely you can see the Pemaquid Harp in the background and also a baby grand piano! But that's a story for another time.
