A Postcard to an Old Friend, New England Fall 1955 🍁✉️ | Vintage Americana Music

   • Vintage Americana Music — Small-Town Memories   On a bright October Saturday in 1955, Lucy finishes a postcard at her window desk and sets out to mail it at Hale's General Store. Along the way, down a country lane, across the town green and along Main Street, memories of Ben, the childhood friend who once lived next door, quietly come back to her. All around her, the town carries on with its Saturday. A paperboy brings the evening news, firemen wash the red engine, a baker sets out fresh loaves, a family poses for a portrait under the maples, a crossing guard waves children across the street, and an old man plays his harmonica on the store porch. This original instrumental collection brings together warm vintage Americana with gentle touches of country, folk and oldies. Acoustic guitar, upright piano, soft tenor saxophone, upright bass and light brushed drums play simple, unhurried melodies with no vocals, like a family record playing on a quiet autumn afternoon. Let it keep you company while you relax, read, work quietly, enjoy your coffee, or remember the friends and small-town streets of your own childhood. ▶ Best for: relaxing at home, reading, quiet work, coffee time, reminiscing What could a few pennies buy at the general store in your town when you were a child?
