Maine Public: Century Notes - Reflections of Maine Centenarians

Maine is about to celebrate the 200th anniversary of its statehood, and Maine Public has teamed up with Down East magazine to tell the stories of people who have been alive for at least half of that time.

Attention The Ten devotees! Over consecutive weeks starting from January 29 to March 30, Maine Public will take to some of Maine's best brew pubs, where we will test attendees on current events, news items, and all around things one probably should know! As a The Ten reader, you'll already have a leg up on the competition! Grab a few friends and join us for a fun night (or two!) of trivia.

In Tune Pick Of The Week: Oshima Brothers - Under The Same Stars

“I almost always have a song playing in my head. It’s kind of amazing how often I wake up with 'These Cold Nights,’ a song from the Oshima Brothers’ Under the Same Stars of my mind. Well, it’s not really that amazing considering what a great song it is. I’m happy to have it on repeat. There are 5 songs on the EP and they are all candidates for my mind jukebox. They are beautiful, those brother harmonies can’t be beat. And they are uplifting and, let’s face it, we need uplifting these days. AND, they are from Maine! Born and bred. We can be proud of the music these very gifted artists are making and I hope to get a chance to see them live. Stay tuned!” -- Sara
