I agree with Peter - "The lyric reads like a classic poem."

A classic folk sound fits perfectly...

Thanks Floyd,
I only had the opening/closing lyrics written before working out the melody on this, but its good to know they read well by themselves.
Graham`s suggestions on the bass and harp really helped keep the sound simple and folky.

Scott,
I`m pretty sure Janice did her vocal in one take; mine never are and I end up taking the best of many.
Yes,Graham`s playing is sweet!
Thanks for your positive review.

I'm originally from St. Charles, Missouri. Since lewis & Clark began their expedition their, the have significant stature in the area. I lived right on the Missouri River and just a few miles from the Mississippi River. This brought back some wonderful memories - some real nice ones!

I enjoyed this so much! Totally loved it!

That`s very kind Al,
I loved history but back in those days in an English school we were steered away from American success stories... I`ve done lots of catchup in the last few years and read both the Lewis & Clark journals and historical fiction based on their lives.
I`m glad this song resonated with your history too!
