Liner notes

A midwest folk song with warm acoustic guitar and gentle vocals about the quiet shores of South Gull Lake. The lyrics reflect on the clear, spring-fed waters and the old days of ice harvesting by the railroad companies. It captures the peaceful lakeside living, the marinas, and the gentle ripples of the water under the Michigan sky.
