Story Behind The Song

Good Harbor Bay is one of my favorite locations on Leelanau Peninsula, a magical land that reaches out from the Northwest most portion of Michigan's Lower Peninsula into Lake Michigan. Approximately half of the bay shore line is part of the Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lake Shore. Perfect sunny skies, waters that radiate various gradients of blue and coastal dune sands encasing my toes are what this tune is all about. Fall is my favorite time to walk along the bay and gaze out upon Pyramid Point, the Whaleback and North Manitou Island or simply the infinite horizon. I have spent many an hour napping, daydreaming and just immersing myself in this intoxicating environment particularly after a bike ride along the National Lakeshore Heritage trail. Think of Luis Vilca's playful flute as the wind tickling the wings of seagulls and Silvio Centamore's congas as the waves rolling ashore.
