MUSIC

Gordon Bok grew up around the boatyards of Camden, Maine. He learned many tunes, sea songs, stories, legends and ballads from the people he worked with. Where he couldn't find songs that matched his experiences or needs, he began to write his own, and has kept up a lively flow of poems, songs, stories, choral and instrumental works. He has appeared on the radio show "A Prairie Home Companion" with Garrison Keillor. Gordon's music has been sung by many other performers and has been used for films, and he has over thirty recordings featuring his own compositions and folk tunes from around the world.
