Pearly Brown; God Don't Ever Change; Georgia Street Singer/ Folk-Lyric (lp)
[Perhaps Brown was chosen by God to sing gospel folk songs on the streets of Macon. It seems to threaten our democratic way of life that so few streetsingers are seen and heard in our fractious nation today; a multitude of viable street music careers is a kind of national defense]

Thanks to KEVIN SANDERS, Station Manager at WUWG, 
for his continuing encouragment and help!

The studio has really been improving lately for lots of reasons
including the skill and creativity of our engineer and his staff: 
Alphonse and that tall movie star character who lives in Opelika.

And thanks to Mike Yuhas and all the hard-working folks at www.folkradio.org
who help the web world know there's still lots of folk music here and there,
scattered around maybe but still very relevant, at least to those of us who
love it.
