Well hello…and welcome to the FisherPoetry Podcast, a showcase of prose, poetry, and song written and performed by those in the commercial fishing community…mostly ;-).

For today’s podcast we’re going to hear from Jon Campbell, a FisherPoet out of Charlestown, RI. Sadly, Jon passed away on January 9th of 2022…and with him passed one of the great FisherPoets of our time. To say that Jon was man of many talents…a musician, a poet, a writer…is an understatement. It was a real privilege to attend his performances and, according to the Rhode Island Hall of Fame where he was inducted in 2019, Jon summed up career with: “When you live in an interesting place where interesting people are doing interesting things, all you have to do is make it rhyme.” Rhyme you did, Jon, and thank you for all you gave to us.

For this episode Jon Campbell shares his performances of “Atlantic or Pacific?”, “Fredrick’s of Galilee”, “The Wall” and “You Might Be Missin’ Fish”, recorded at the Liberty Theater on February 28th, 2020 as part of the FisherPoets Gathering in Astoria, Oregon. Thanks again, Jon, and may you always sail calm seas.
