"Little Old Tommy Rush From New Hampshire"

Tom Rush and I have just two things in common-we both were born in Merrimack County and both grew up around a private prep school. In Tom's case it was St. Paul's in Concord (though he ended up going to another one, Groton). After that, he has a lot more songwriting talent than I have LOL.

Tom now lives in Wyoming, and in 2003 released a live album called "Trolling for Owls". A video from this album, his cover of Stephen Walters' song "Remember", has become a real hit on youtube, having received over two million hits.

Here's a nice profile of Tom from his alma mater, Harvard, and a link to the youtube video of "Remember"...
