Piece Description
Kendall Morse is an entertainer known for two things: his Maine humor, and his renditions of traditional folk songs. For Kendall, there’s a difference between being an entertainer and being a performer. A performer puts on a show. But for an entertainer, the show never ends. It’s part of their everyday life.
Until recently, Kendall didn’t anticipate having to end his show early. But over the past few years, he’s faced the reality that he may never again be able to do what he loves most.
