I've had several questions about Belle Isle, a song from my latest album, "A Feather." Belle Isle is a public park on the James River within the city limits of Richmond, VA. It's the perfect spot for a nature hike, bag lunch, fishing expedition, and many other means of passing time. Belle Isle is, without a doubt, one of my favorite places in my adopted hometown.
The urban James, interestingly, is the only place in the United States where one can participate in whitewater rafting through the heart of a city. Depending on the height of the water, the rapids near downtown can be treacherous.
More song explanations to come.....

Summer!
Ah, summer. Here it is. Baseball, watermelon, and sweating.
Work on my next album, "Songs for Quirky," is nearly complete. I plan to include 16 songs on the upcoming record. I'm not sure when it will be available, but I hope to have the CD out by the end of September.
Today I checked out the folk festival on the Mall in Washington, D.C. The featured regions this year are rural Virginia, Northern Ireland, and Mekong. Aside from the oppressive heat, the event was outstanding. My kids dug the Vietnamese Dragon Dance Team and the Freer Art Museum's air conditioning.
Next post: Who knows? Enjoy the season!
