I believe
this is the first time we had seen Maine folkies Schooner Fare for a full show
since they were down to a duo after the passing of former member Tom Rowe. The
Romanoff brothers nevertheless continued to perform at a high level, beginning
the show with Bill Staines’ “Roseville Fair” and continuing with a mix of
original songs and those borrowed from others, accompanied by a variety of
humorous and other anecdotes. The set list managed to include three of my
favorites: “Red, Red Robin,” “Calgary, My Home Away from Home,” and of course “Portland
Town.”
Good-sized
crowd – looked to be either a sellout or very close to it. Unfortunately for
the band, due to a shipping screw-up the CDs that were supposed to be available
for sale at the show didn’t manage to arrive in time.
