"I'm a different dude," says Campbellton, N.L.,-based singer-songwriter Adam Baxter.

"And I like to say 'please and thank you' a lot."

Baxter is also a very busy dude, as his new EP, called Different But Polite, is his second musical release within a year.

He's doing all that while pursuing a parallel career as a music educator in rural Newfoundland.
