It’s a spectacular view from

July 12, 2002

It’s a spectacular view from the stage on the river front in Windsor. I’ve probably played down there four times now and its a sight you don’ t forget. Detroit is pushed up to the edge of the river in a tidal wave of twinkling lights, spires and looming obelisks. The river has just the right amount of rough water to make boating look adventurous and refract and reflect the sun like a sequined shirt in a slow wind. Twilight seems to last a long time because the city takes over with its mass of indirect light and you never notice the transition to darkness. The crowd was big and active and I did my best to look up as much as possible and drink in the surroundings. The temperature was perfect. There were so many good reasons to live for the moment . . . so I did.
