Chenequa
Liner notes
A chamber pop song with vocals about the exclusive, quiet shores of Chenequa, Wisconsin. The lyrics describe the old white pine groves along Pine Lake and the grand summer mansions built by Milwaukee industrialists. It captures the peaceful, tree-lined roads and the pristine, protected waters of Beaver Lake.
