So... we had a little extra time on our hands this month… so Molly, Charlie, Jojo and I finished up an
album of strange songs all about life in Maine: Wessie, the Spinning Ice Disc, the leaves in Autumn,
Hannibal Hamlin, the North Pond Hermit, the many ghosts that live here... and so much more!

Sufjan Stevens started his 50 States project 17 years ago, with beautiful storytelling albums about

Michigan and Illinois…
Unfortunately, he became sidetracked by life, and at this rate, it would take him 425 years to finish all 50
states (to say nothing of Puerto Rico, American Samoa, Guam, the Northern Mariana Islands or the U.S.
Virgin Islands.)
