Other Music: "Northern Country Morning" and "Oh New Hampshire (You're My Home)" by Brownie Macintosh (Sail Records)
*A word on the music:
Brownie Macintosh is a folk singer from New Hampshire, whose sincere love for his home state, and feelings of wanderlust and bittersweet romance, eventually won me over despite my initially ironic appreciation for the two songs I showcase here in the podcast, which are from his 1979 album, "Song Weaver", which I dug up one day from my grandmother's old vinyl library.
For those wondering, Brownie Macintosh is still around. He writes and records children's music, and goes on educational tours, with members of The Kingston Trio and some local New Hampshire artists. His current work can be found at www.juliebrownie.com. He's great.
