State song?
 
Any chance we could get the Legislature to declare it the "STATE SONG"?:cheers:

Or at least have the Dept. of Tourism use it to promote the State.


LIVE FREE OR DIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Someone had sent it to me in an email earlier. Glad you posted it here.

They have a website and a youtube channel. Lots of comments about the NH Video.

Only thing it did not touch is the Skegway. :confused:

I hope it didn't open up the flood gates to NH! :(

I love that he mentions Al Kaprielian. He used to be on the Derry station which you could get on Comcast in Mass and hear his weather reports for the lake. I really miss Al!
Damn....I've got that song in my head now....

eillac@dow 04-02-2010 06:49 PM

That was great!
 
Thank you for sharing. I loved it. I had a smile on my face the whole time I listened to it. I showed it to my husband....and now the question....

How can he put it on his Ipod?

Would be great to listen to while sitting by the fire on a great summer night on Dow!

eillac :D

But no mention of Lake Winni
 
I loved the video and feel guilty voicing any criticism, but I was bummed there was no mention of Lake Winnipesaukee (unless I missed it). Laconia was mentioned (because of bikey week) and they had a nice shot of Castle in the Clouds, but nothing about the Smile of the Great Spirit.

We could prolly compile a lits of a couple hundred honorable mentions that didn't make the cut, but...meh.

Though Winnipesogee and Contoocook are always fun to throw in the mix. Folks from elsewhere have an especially hard time with the latter. :D

By way of context...a couple months ago there was a similar parody by some Minnesotans. So this vid is a couple degrees of separation from the original. Kinda like Dr. Demento doing a cover of a Weird Al Yankovich parody.:):)

Hmmmm. Actually, I'll drop my .02 on an omission. Left out one of my favorite Abenaki placenames - Gonic.

Sounds like sumpin' a sailor would get on shore leave. "Boy, I went ashore last week. And am all itchey now. I hope I ain't got the gonic!"

Loved the parody but I too was bummed with no mention of Winni and when I saw his name, Wisecarver, I knew that I had seen him before. His family was on my son's paper route when he was in HS at Timberlane. I talked with him a couple of times when he was in HS - very nice kid. Now he's 32 - ouch!

Here is a photo of Christian (top row with knit hat on) when he and my son (2nd from right bottom row) were on the Know-It Alls on Channel 11 in HS.

Visit NH Website
 
The response from NH Division of Travel & Tourism Development:
"Yes, we have heard it and we love it! Thanks for sending this along."
I sure hope they somehow utilize this NH treasure!

903,257 hits since March 31st. Wow!

The gal in the vid also went to Timberlane - she's a friend of my friend's niece - talk about convulated, sounds just like NH lol :D
