Jonathan Richman and The Modern Lovers - New England video free download
From "Jonathan Richman & The Modern Lovers" (c)1976 on Beserkley Records. Footage is courtesy of Robbins Barstow from his film "Family Camping Through 48 States - Part I" 1957 - 1961, available for viewing on the Internet Archive. Thank you, Dr. Barstow for permission to use the film.
Update: Robbins Barstow left us in 2010. His NY Times obituary gives him the title Home-movie Maven and summarizes his contributions to archiving U.S. family life through his home movies. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/11/14/arts/14barstow.html?_r=0

I have Barstows in my family, but not since the early 1700's. When I'm homesick, this is my go to song, and this is the youtube version I love the best.12 years ago

@MPSh64inLowell and @RockstarEnergy37 What you're talking about (making this song the national anthem of New England after it breaks away from the union) is the premise of a song by my band The Very Most. Search for "The Very Most Jonathan Richman" since youtube won't let me put a link in.12 years ago

@suzannalcooper Well, hi! Have you seen your grandfather's movies on the Archive? They get shown around at home-movie festivals too. I'm glad you like the video. Your grandfather obviously has great love for the medium and it shows.13 years ago
