Michigan 2002

Welcome to the 2002 Northwoods collection of field recordings. The gathering was held near the town of Bruce Crossing in the Ottawa National Forest. A few of my fondest memories are of the bullfrogs at Sucker Creek and the mud sculptures that several people carved into the mud that graced the ATV trail that was used as the main trail. A sample of the frogs is featured at the beginning of the song Mother Land (track 1 CD 2) and a recording made while sitting by the sculptures called Buffalo Road can also be heard. Find an extended bullfrog recording on the Leftovers III: The MiniDisc Years 2000-2009 compilation.

This collection contains 2 CDs. Disk 1 has 12 tracks and Disk 2 has 11 tracks.

A Loon’s song is like a peaceful wand
Stretched twilight to the worlds beyond

A box of sunlight and a bow of moon glow
Scattered about upon the traveler’s road

Bullfrogs croak like a wandering goat
Painting sounds on a star hung night

Tat Ta Tat, Tat Ta Tat & Tat Ta Tat
Tat Ta Tat, Tat Ta Tat & Tat Ta Tat
