Review of Just Another Fish Story

When I heard this there was a smile on my face the entire time. Its pacing is like a raft trip through rapids: quick overlapping cuts that pull you along and occasionally take your breath away. The Down East voices are wonderful and the jaw harp and fiddle music complement them perfectly. Some of the juxtapositions are hilarious; others provide startling insights about community, life and death. A very special piece.
