about

Paul Winter came to regard Gordon Bok as “the Bard of Maine.” Paul was introduced to his music in the late 1960s by Noel Stookey, who produced Gordon’s first album. Paul was beguiled by his soulful low voice, and by his repertoire as well. Gordon grew up around the boatyards of Camden, Maine, and worked 44 Disc II 4 4 Disc II 45 on a variety of vessels, from passenger schooners to yachts. He learned many tunes, sea songs, stories, legends, and ballads from the people he worked with. About “The Good Wish,” Gordon says: “Alexander Carmichael collected these words more than a century ago, in Gaelic, from the people of the Scottish Hebrides. This is his translation, which Kate Barnes (poet laureate of the High Ridges of Maine) sent to Jan Harmon, who set it to this tune and these chords.” Gordon led the solstice audience in the only singalong they’ve ever had. There’s a powerful magic in the sound of a throng of people singing together. “The Good Wish,” to Paul, is like a benediction.
