MAINE 2025 SUNDAY ISLAND PARTY JAMS

The tents start getting folded up on Sunday morning, and the boats start shuttling dozens to the mainland, but this year, again, enough musicians and singers remain,  and, so, the Sunday Jams begin.

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 hadn’t seen each other, much less played with each other, for at least a year. It’s all improvised, a Jam, not a Performance, 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.

SUMMER WAS LUSH;
WINTER IS BONY AND ROUGH HERE,
PUT CREAM IN UR CUP
THEN BLOW STEAM OFF THE CUP 

WE WALK DOWN FRANCIS, HIT THE 711 NEAR CAMPUS,
HOLDING HANDS LIKE SOME KIDS
THEN WE WAIT TIL SUNSET, AND HIT THE LIQUOR STORE ON SELMA
THE NEIGHBOR'S DOG BARKS FROM THE TRAILER

OH, VIOLET 
WOULD U WAIT AROUND WITH ME
I'M BEGGIN U, VIOLET
WOULD U STAY AROUND WITH ME 
I'M BEGGIN  U, VIOLET
THE SUNSET LOOKS VIOLENT
UR HAIR AND UR THIGHS ARE WET
KISS U ON THE NECK,
VIOLET

U GOT MY SHIRTS IN UR CAR,
I PUT PUNCHING BAG IN THE YARD--
LAUNDRY ROOM FLOOD FROM THE RAIN 
THE WHISTLING TRAIN 
I KISS U AGAIN AND AGAIN;
U TAKE PHOTOGRAPHS FROM THE BACKSEAT 
DOWN THE BACK ROAD IN PATAPSCO 
WERE DRIVING SLOW, WINDOWS ARE LOW, AND TIRES ARE SLICK 
FROM THE SNOW  AND I THINK OF U, 
VIOLET




WE GET OLDER, WE BOTH GROW
IT'S HOT, IT'S COLD
I WANT U SO
I SPENT ALL DAY ON THE ROAD
I CALL U UP, "I'M HEADING HOME,"
WE HIT THE PUB
I DRINK TOO MUCH
U DRIVE ME HOME
I CAN'T WAIT TO GET HOME 
WE LAUGH- WE FIGHT- WE YELL- WE TAKE IT OFF
THIS TOWN'S SLOW I LIKE IT SLOW
WITH U

sweetest thing
