Director of Maine Fiddle Camp, multi-instrumentalist and tradition bearer Doug Protsik sat down with Neil for an extended conversation on his musical journey and the Maine traditions he is so passionate about. This episode is the first half of that conversation, covering Doug's early years with music, moving to Maine and discovering the rich traditions of the state while living in a $500 log cabin he built himself. Doug also shares his knowledge and passion for the old dance music of the 1920's and how it combined fiddles, jazz and popular music.
