		In the 1980s, Bok was inspired by a series of disturbing dreams to compose in the ancient style of cante-fables, a non-rhyming style of balladry.

	Gordon Bok, A Rogue's Gallery of Songs for 12-String (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Bok worked on the soundtrack of the film Coaster, about the building of the schooner John F. Leavitt, itself an interesting and enlightening look at the process of fine boat building, and two of the cuts come from that involvement.
		The final cut, "Woodworker's Litany (Questions for Malcolm)," is an introspective piece in which Bok explores the internal processes experienced when an artist or artisan takes "a piece of the body of something that had a natural and contributive function on this planet" and shapes it into something else.
		Bok's lyrics added to the first are done in fun and are advice on how not to get anchored to any of the young women in Canso (Nova Scotia).

		This tall, handsome man is the personification of the Maine tradition of the sea, having served as the original first mate on the sloop "Clearwater." In his early years he worked on or near the water, in shipyards and on sailing vessels, in jobs ranging from dishwasher to captain.
		Bok is not one of those self-absorbed singer-songwriters; he sings of the world around him, often of the sea.
		As one critic wrote, "If the sea had a voice with which to sing, it would be the voice of Gordon Bok." He sings songs he has learned from those he has worked with but some of his most popular are ones he has written himself.

		Gordon Bok, Ann Mayo Muir & Ed Trickett, All Shall Be Well Again
		Perhaps the most moving piece on the recording is Gordon Bok's original instrumental, "Manticus." Delivering a sad, soulful melody that turns into an upbeat dance melody, this composition will stick with you long after listening.
		Bok's heartrending tale of the impact of the death of a childhood friend upon his life is beautifully related in the liner notes, and is the source of inspiration for the tune.

		In the extreme, he weaves a spell of words and sound in a 15-minute storytelling piece, "Peter Kagan and the Wind." Liam Clancy did a fine cover of this on one of his albums, but Bok's original has a quiet intensity that highlights the nautical tension.
		The arrangements are simple, leaving the way clear for Bok's voice to carry the impetus.

		Gordon Bok, Ann Muir and Ed Trickett have been cult figures on the folk circuit since the early '70s, when they recorded their first album for the tiny Folk Legacy label.
		Folk Legacy has been rather slow in bowing to the digital imperative, and instead of reissuing the older albums individually (which we can only hope will still happen) they have decided to release a best-of collection in two volumes.
