  1. What a beautiful voice, and classy as a person, too, which I can tell just from your interactions with her. Thank you for sharing the music! (My favorite, incidentally, was the first song but they were all good.) Alana ramblinwitham

    1. Alana,

      You’re so right Megan is nice person and I enjoyed putting this post together for her. Maybe, someday I can say I knew her when. giggles I’m happy you enjoyed her music. Thanks for dropping by, darlin’!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing my music on your awesome blog, Cathy! I’m honored to be featured here on what is clearly a wonderful community of music lovers. It warms my heart. I’m so glad our paths crossed!

    1. Megan,

      I’m thrilled you stopped by and I ditto about our paths crossing. The Internet can be a mix either blessing or curse but in this case a definite blessing! Have a songsational day, my dear!

    1. Nicole,

      Thank you for peeking in to check out Megan’s amazing voice and latest album. I’m happy you found her music style enjoyable. She’s a gem of a find!

    1. Thank you for checking out today’s feature guest and her latest album. Listening to her is comforting, taking my mind back to simpler days. I love how the folk genre does that but more importantly is her voice captures that quality purrfectly. Have pawsom evening, Indre!

  3. She has a beautiful voice and, yes, reminds me of the 60s and 70s like a Joni Mitchell. Wishing you s great day.

    1. Birgit,

      In her publicity info, I read that she studied Joni Mitchell and Nick Drake open tunings patterns. You’re so right, she has a beautiful voice. Thanks for dropping by for this mini concert of sorts, darlin’! 😉

  4. Hi, Cathy!

    As you know if you read my reply last night to your comment on SPMM, I am mourning the loss of another pet today, but having pain in one’s heart is an inescapable part of life. The more you love and care for an animal companion that has been a part of your family for years, the more it hurts to say goodbye. Death is part of life, and life goes on.

    The music you presented this morning, that of rural Northern California singer/songwriter Megan Brickwood, sooths my soul. I went to her bio page and read that her musical style is influenced by roots, folk, blues and rock and speaks to the human condition. I love her pure, clear, soulful voice, her sincerity and unpretentious, no-nonsense acoustic recordings. These songs are all gems. “Hey Little Darling,” a letter to her younger self, is wonderful – my favorite of all.

    Megan reminds me of a female John Denver in the sense that she sings songs that reveal love for her native soil. She also reminds me of singer/songwriter Tom Rush whom I very much admire. It’s exciting that you had a “Brush With Greatness” when Megan noticed that she was featured in one of your posts and reached out to you. That kind of thing has happened to me a few times in my life and it’s always a thrill. I hope Megan sees this new post and contacts you again. If she happens to read my comment, I urge her to listen to two Tom Rush albums that meant a lot to me in my youth, Tom’s self-titled 1970 album and Wrong End Of The Rainbow, the follow-up Columbia album released that same year. I believe those two Tom Rush LPs will inspire her. It is indeed exciting to encounter a talented young artist like Megan who is carrying on the tradition of Joni Mitchell and other great singers and songwriters of the 20th century.

    You hit a home run with this post featuring the songs of Megan Brickwood. I wish her tremendous success. Thanks for the introduction, or re-introduction as the case may be. Now it’s back to work for Mrs. Shady and me as we face another long day of planning and packing. Yesterday, along with having to witness our beloved pet die from a lethal injection, we were treated to a video walk-through tour of our new house 1000+ miles away. It was exciting, and I hope you and DH will soon be experiencing this rush as well. Enjoy the rest of your week. My next post hits Saturday and I’ll see you Monday on the 4M dance floor. Take care, dear friend Cathy!

    1. Tom,

      Oh my Cathy! I’m soooo sorry to read of your family loss. It’s not easy when a furbaby falls ill suddenly leading one to the decision that you and Mrs. Shady had to make but it was the right one. You both are in my thoughts and prayers.

      I’m glad you found time to stop by for a bit emotional healing as you tuned your ear to Megan’s latest album. I totally agree with you, she’s a female John Denver vocally but a whole lot prettier. lol You cracked me up with had a “Brush With Greatness”. I certainly was flattered that she reached out to little ole me. I’m a sucker for music that moves me. She does her job well and I in turn wanted to share with my friends.

      Taking a virtual tour of your new home sounds exciting. I know that helped to lighten your alls mood. Thanks for the reminder of your upcoming post and for taking time from packing your house up to check out today’s post with Megan Brickwood, dear friend. I’ll see you on Monday!

    2. Tom,

      Thank you the very sweet comment, I appreciated that very much as well and now I’m thinking I’ve got to cover a John Denver song!
