Sea shanties vs. maritime music

from Lake Effect Spotlight · host WUWM 89.7 FM - Milwaukee's NPR

When you think of maritime music, you might imagine pirates or sailors exploring the ocean on an old, masted ship.  But what if I told you the Maritime Music Directory International is not based in a sea-faring, fishing village - but on the shores of Lake Michigan, in Racine, Wisconsin?  That’s where founder Dean Calin manages the directory of international musicians and festivals with a singular devotion to maritime music. He joins Lake Effect's Joy Powers to talk about the directory and the maritime music scene.
