Sam (Hambone) is a friend to multiple wholly and partially owned subsidiaries of the Sippican Conglomerate. By that, I mean my older son plays gigs with him, and Sam has helped me move furniture.

I had no idea he was a musician when I first met him. The Heir showed up with Sam in tow one time to move furniture out of our (recently sold) home in western Maine. Sam’s a barrel of monkeys, in addition to helping people he’d never met before move a sofa or two. I was mildly astonished to hear him play and sing some time later. He’s naturally gifted in both departments.

I’m not sure what category you’d put this song in, but I think Curtis Mayfield would approve. Rock on, kids!
