Song explanation: Belle Isle

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.....
