SPRING continued from 42
or fifty cents for each screwdriver, hammer, hatchet, and socket wrench and so on that the kids come up with. It’ s a win-win-win situation— the kids get some loot, the adults get back some tools, and there aren’ t any unfound hard boiled eggs lying around to attract raccoons.
I digress here to say something about“ spring fever.” First off, spring fever isn’ t just confined to spring. You can contract it about anytime of the year, but it does seem more prevalent in the spring. It is a condition that saps your will to obey. It weakens your immunity against silliness. And it makes you want to spend time unprofitably. Here is where I should throw out a quote from a venerable Brown Countian, Bill Mills who said,“ A day without work is a day of pure profit.”
I believe he came up with that aphorism in the spring. I personally have found it to be pretty true. Luckily, for those who live here or have the good sense to visit Brown County, there’ s a whole lot of ways to spend time un-profitably. I like drifting in a canoe amongst to lily pads on Yellowwood Lake. A hike in the woods or a visit to Brown County State Park is good. It’ s also fun to perambulate the village of Nashville just to check out the shops and the galleries. How ever you do it, wasting time
on a warm spring day in Brown County isn’ t wasted time.

BROWN COUNTY RADIO HOUR continued from 45
Wills said the project has reignited his enjoyment of audio production.
“ I love putting the show together,” he said.“ Coming into this, it all seems very collaborative. We just need to keep doing what we’ re doing and always try to do it better,” Wills said.“ Because we’ ve got a great show.”
Wills said the group has had great success recording live music in the studio, which has led to a new sister podcast, called“ Woodshed Sessions,” three song minisessions featuring local musicians.
A collaboration is in the works with the Nashville Arts and Entertainment Commission to stage story slams once a month and generate a sister podcast.
“ I sincerely hope that the show keeps going on,” said Seastrom.“ Brown County will always have the stories.”
