The Bangor Daily News recognized him as one of the 58 most-memorable Mainers of the 20th century, and the readers of FOLKWAX voted him 2003 Artist of the Year and “Artist in Me” 2003 Album of the Year. He has recorded 17 albums, including “The Fable True” (2007), based on Thoreau’s last expedition in 1857, a spoken-word CD with accompanying music.
