The description of a lakeside trail in this week's Report is at Keypayshowink (Camp Rotary, near Clare, MI). My summers there are still the greatest segment of my life. However, the poem, "I Declare it Spring," was written at Green Point in Saginaw, where your tax dollars allowed me to watch birds, wander the forest, and teach kids that nature is cool. Thanks.
The music for this episode comes from an amazing cd from the Northwoods Improvisers, Constellations. I recently received this great gift in the mail from my friend Mike who plays bass in this band, and hosts one of the best jazz shows in the nation, Destination Out. The song is titled Tenere', which is the name of a desert region in the south central Sahara. I first heard this song performed with the extended band, Faruq Z. Bey & the Northwoods Improvisers at one of their gigs in Detroit, and was hypnotized by it. Look for more Northwoods Improvisers' music in upcoming episodes of Report from the Mountains. Better yet, get their CDs!
