Today, to celebrate the opening of the annual Fisher Poets Gathering in Astoria, Oregon, we honor Fisher Poets who are no longer with us.
We’ll hear a song from Fisher Poet great Jon Campbell, who passed a few years ago. Jon was a prolific and creative songwriter and performer who hailed from Rhode Island, and his performances were unforgettable.
You can hear more of the works of Jon Campbell and other, living, Fisher Poets, at this weekend’s Annual Fisher Poets Gathering in Astoria, Oregon. Performances are are happening Friday through Sunday morning. For more info, see fisherpoets.org.
If you can’t attend, KMUN radio in Astoria will livestream the Gathering from 6-10 pm Friday and Saturday from the Liberty Theater in Astoria. You can tune into KMUN locally at 91.9 fm, or livestream it at kmun.org, or download the KMUN app. I’ll be your host both nights.
For a live videostream of FPG performances at the Liberty on Friday and Saturday nights, check out the FisherPoetry Archive Project’s live videostream, courtesy of FPAP founder Brad Wartman. You’ll find that on the FisherPoetry Archive YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thefisherpoetryarchive.
Note: I’ll be away next week visiting with old friends. I hope you enjoy the archive interviews you’ll hear Feb 24-28. The Ship Report will return, with ship schedules and marine weather, on March 3.
