MAINE 2025 SATURDAY WRAP PARTY JAMS

After all the effort to put on our annual show in the middle of the woods at the Silent Stage Theater, all the puppeteers, performers, stagehands, and audience deserve a big Wrap Party at Captain Dave’s log cabin porch to celebrate. These jams were extraordinary, thanks to the deep talents of the musicians and singers. And fun times had by all.

This music was recorded in August 2025, on an island in the middle of a big lake in Northwest Maine, where we’ve been gathering, thanks to the Loons, for decades. Many of these friends, musicians, and singers from Maine and from all over the country and abroad, hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvisation, Jams, not Performances, with no prior Rehearsals or Song Lists, so this is as real as it gets.

This album is arranged in the actual order in which the music was played, minus the many out-takes, but, when it’s all done, it seems I couldn’t have thought of a better order. The music is all acoustic Americana, though it ranges all over the place, from Bluegrass to Jazz to Folk to Country to Rock to Reggae, but it really works as an organic album, and that’s big for people like me, who still appreciate albums.

Sounds best, like you’re right on that island in Maine partying with us, when played on a good stereo with two separated speakers, left and right, or on a headset, or, one of my favorites, on a car stereo, so that this stereo recording will actually sound three-dimensional. You can hear the location of each instrument and singer. More than ever before, I was able to immerse myself (and my stereo pair of mics) into the belly of the music, literally surrounded by the musicians, the instruments, voices, and harmonies, so that, if you listen in true stereo, I can take you right in there with me.

On some songs, there’s a little too much chatter, but when you’re actually at a campfire, and people are talking, laughing, and partying, you filter that out, and the only thing you hear is the music. Crank it up, and let your imagination take you there, and enjoy. It’ll surprise you.

20 Summer's End

“The Story of the Unloved Me” is an original poem, whispered by the Soul and braided with AI-generated music to sink deeper. 

It is a journey of healing, transformation, and rebirth — from ashes of pain to the vision of a New Earth where Love wears many names.

This piece blends poetry, mythic storytelling, and atmospheric AI soundscapes into a profound experience of self-discovery, inner strength, and spiritual awakening. Perfect for those drawn to meditation music, healing frequencies, inspirational poetry, and transformational journeys.

The Story of the Unloved Me 
(original poem)

The story of the unloved me 
ends today. 

A new myth emerges
from the lonely ashes 
of the past.

Forged by rejections,
betrayals and sorrows,
my immortal heart
opens now fully
summoning the whole world in.

Life’s hard lessons
made it more tender
deepening the wells of Love.

The longing swelled
as I swam unharmed
in seas of sorrow.

Out there 
an island rises
from ancient tides
of hurt -
a New Earth,
where Love 
wears many names
and weds Earth and Sky.

The Story of the Unloved Me Ends Today

bạn mình mới tìm được tình yêu, mình còn vui hơn cả nó. 
nhưng mà mai mình đi tiễn nó rồi, nửa năm sau mới gặp lại. 
hình như là hơi nhiều cảm xúc cho một đêm mưa.
