Welcome to Barry Brower's Website
My wife Jen and I, hiking Ptarmigan Ridge in the North Cascades. Mount Shuksan in the background.
Hey, I don't know how you found my website, but I'm happy you did. It's just for fun (nothing commercial) and any shared interest(s) you and I may have.
In brief I am a musician, photographer, free-lance journalist, and retired librarian. I worked as a seasonal Naturalist for the National Park Service (Grand Teton NP; Redwood NP; North Cascades NP) and as a Wilderness Ranger for the Forest Service in the Trinity Alps and Olympic National Forest. I also spent time working for the Ministry of Forests in Bella Coola, British Columbia and am a Vietnam veteran.
I love photography and have won a few awards over the years. You will find results of that at Photo Gallery.
Traditional Bluegrass, Oldtime, Country, and Americana music have been a focus of mine for over five decades and there are links to that and some other musical things at Music. Over the years I have also worked formally and informally as a journalist. The product of all that can be found in Articles.
Jen and I live in Anacortes, Washington. I was born in Canada and raised in Michigan with degrees from Michigan State University and the University of Washington. She was born and raised in Anacortes and makes custom Window Treatments for a living. She also fronts her own group, the Dunton Sisters. I sincerely hope you enjoy everything you see, hear, or read on these pages.
