I encountered Doreen and her Sousaphone-playing husband Lawrence busking in
Portland, Maine, 2 years ago. They were playing with a banjo player that
someone told me was a Yale graduate who lives in Maine.  Doreen and Lawrence
Kitchens are both great players and I was as in awe of their stamina as
their chops. It was an unseasonably cold day and they kept it up for
probably 8 hours or more. I picked up one of their CDs.
