Reawakening ~ Original Video and Guitar from Michigan's Upper Peninsula

For a change of pace...
scenes from my part of the country.

All segments are videos that I filmed and edited, although a couple objects are so still they appear like pictures.

That's me on the guitar (and brief vocals): "Reawakening," which I wrote and recorded last year.

"We must learn to reawaken and keep ourselves awake, not by mechanical aids, but by an infinite expectation of the dawn, which does not forsake us in our soundest sleep."

Henry David Thoreau ~ Walden, or Life in the Woods.

I live in Marquette!!!!!! wow I watched some of your old time fiddle tunes on your channel...... like the one on the tracks and another on an old car...... are they both tak'en in the UP?? But the opening clip......... is that really the up?? That's a pretty huge freeway........ I've never seen something like that up here....... huh

@allendupras All taken in the U.P. except the opening clip, which I took on the 294 tollway outside of Chicago. I wanted to show the contrast between the Big City and life here in the great U.P.

Happy New Year to all of you who have enjoyed Michigan's Upper Peninsula at one time or other, and to all who visit my channel. Without you folks, my efforts here would be a waste of time!

I miss Michigan. My heart has been broken since leaving her. Mark my words though, I will be back. This time, staying away from the hustle and bustle of city life of the lower part of the state, but instead settling far far north.

Someday, my friend. By the way, I have that Gadsden flag flying off my woodshed.

You've all said very kind things about this video. Thank you very much.
