Frank Norwood - A Singer-Songwriter with a Podcast. It's a one-man variety show cobbled together with all the care of a welded up  Moose replica you'd find Downeast. From a distance it'll look like a moose, but up close you'll see the antlers are from the kid's old bicycle and the body is from Aunt Esther's Dodge Dart. So it goes with Frank's music and podcast...if you have a few minutes to waste he'll be more than happy to provide you with fresh, quirky, clean and ever sarcastic Downeast humor. And maybe lean just within earshot to hear an enthusiastic and heartfelt tune.  https://anchor.fm/frank-w-norwood https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/downeast-mike/id1610092577 franknorwood.com downeastmike.com
