Lady From Keweenaw County (Original)

[ZoneIII]

Well done! I love Keweenaw and your song is well done!

[manriq47]

@ZoneIII It sure is a wonderful place on God's green earth. Anyone who doesn't love it has either never been there or has simply failed to connect with their heart and soul. Thanks for the kind comment. ~ Mark

I performed this song in Copper Harbor (Tiki's) on Saturday. I gave you full credit, course. It went well enough that the host band ask me to do another song. From a very personal level, thank you.

[manriq47]

You can simply tell your audience it was written by a friend in Michigan going by his youtube name of Manriq47. Hope you and your family are enjoying all that the season has to offer. Cheers. ~ Mark

[jeffdingess]

Learned it last night. Need to smooth it out a bit yet. Still lovin' the song. I need to give you credit if I ever have an audience. If you'd like, email me with your name.

Hey Jeff, glad you liked the tune. Great place to write about. Looking to more trips up there in the coming New Year. Those other chords you asked about are Am and E with the capo at the fourth fret. Make sure to give me a headsup, if you decided to post a version. I'd love to hear it. Thanks again for stopping by. All the best to you and yours. ~ Mark

[jeffdingess]

Cool stuff. I first went to the UP in 2006 and have returned many times since. I love it up there. As a "campfire" guitar player and singer myself... I will learn this one. Question though... G, F and what are the other chords?

Thank you.

Wow Mark, that was great! I found your channel last night & have been listening to a bunch of your stuff. I had this on on in the back ground, while I did some work. I thought, hey... that is a nice song, I wonder who wrote it. I looked and it was your own!! Well Done!! I love the U.P. of Michigan. Munising Harbor in the fall, with the oak & maple trees in full color, is the prettiest place I ever saw.

[manriq47]

@hibobb123456 Thank you, Bob. Hard to beat the UP for beauty in the Great Lake State. Wanted to hit the folk festival in Marquette earlier this summer, but couldn't work it out. Did manage a drive back, though, through the UP from a visit in Minnesota last week. Always great to see the sunset from Big Mac. All the best. ~ Mark

Great lyrics, beautiful tune, Mark.

Beautiful, simply beautiful.

[manriq47]

@boshimi336 Thank you for stopping by to listen. The Keweenaw really does come under the definition of God's Country. Loved your vid of last year's camping trip. Lots of familiar places showed up in it. All the best. ~ Mark

[boshimi336]

@manriq47 Thank you and, you too.

[38sydsdad]

Good job. Makes me think of back home in Mohawk.

[davemorag1]

Great story Mark I like your lyrics. I always think the best songs we write are the ones close to our hearts and I think you show that here. 5 stars from Orkney Dave

[manriq47]

Thanks, Dave. Speaking of writing "ones close to our hearts," folks need to visit your channel to see what that is really all about. They surely won't be disappointed. You are a very talented musician and writer. - Mark

Great song. I don't know why, but more songs should be written about our state. I think anyone who goes to Keweenaw will have a story to tell.

thanks for sharing!

[keebearfull]

This michigan guy really likes this song. Simple. Cleanly picked. Good. Besides, I can watch the fret work and learn! Thanks.

[manriq47]

Thank you fellow Michiganian. Other than the economy, it is a great state to sing about. I'll keep an eye out for your version. All the best. - Mark

Thanks, Dan, for the kind words. - Mark

[kitsilanogal]

Mark, this is a lovely song. I wanted to thank you for visiting my channel and commenting on one of my songs. Nice comment. All the best, and happy picking and writing!!

[oldnrone]

Sure hope I get the chance to travel around your part of the world some day.... Great song!

[manriq47]

It really is something special up there, Guy. I'm sure you have many places like that in your part of the world. If you do make that trip, however, remember to pack warm. - Mark

[manriq47]

It's a very cool place, especially in the winter. Thanks. - Mark

[IMTheMagicRat]

very cool song. *****!

[reliablebow]

warms my heart like summertime...I'm there Brother....Great song!

[manriq47]

Thanks, Michael. Sure could use a little summertime around here. Wind chills have been down around zero. Wish the groundhog would have needed sunscreen. - Mark

[Teledude1972]

Great song my friend!!! :)

[manriq47]

Thanks, Ed. Nice to have that big lake in common between our countries. - Mark

[kb1056]

great song! And absolutely agree with you that the Keweenaw has to be among the most beautiful places on earth. We used to camp up there and 2-track back to Superior and swim in the peagravel inlets and hunt aggates. Thanks for taking me back there.

[manriq47]

Yeah, there sure are some beautiful places to camp up there. Kind of nice to have your tent set up on a bluff overlooking Lake Superior watching the lights a frieghter making its way "fully loaded for Cleveland." - Mark

[rudyvandam]

I'm the first!

Very Nice Mark

Could the lyrics be included?!

5 of them

[manriq47]

Talk about dubious distinction. I'll try to get those lyrics up for you.  Would love to hear you give it a shot. - Mark
