While in self-isolation for the COVID19 virus, we’ve had time to review and organize things we’ve put on hold. Fredrick was listening to some earlier work and found a piece that he wrote when he did a chautauqua with Jeff and Mel Kay. He wrote every day while touring northern Ontario. Swimming in the French River, hiking the Cup and Saucer Trail and camping on Manitoulin Island, traversing Cypress Lake and the grotto on the Bruce Trail, all became part of the song and has become a treasured memory.
The song was recorded on an electric/acoustic Ovation we no longer have. We recorded the guitar and voice off the floor, and Fredrick added bass lines. We’re posting it here because it is a part of us and we wanted to share it with you… Joy
