Cypress Trail

Copyright 1997 by James Friesen

Cypress Trail has a methodical, loping rhythm that reminded me of walking the nature trails at Seashore State Park, since renamed False Cape State Park. I spent many a day, as a teenager, walking to the park and along many of it's trails, sometimes barefoot the whole way. I would get into a sort of dream state as I walked, just contemplating things, not always aware of my surroundings. I developed a walking gait that is too fast for most people and irritates the heck out of them.

The song and the CD are named after a trail in that park. The CD cover is a picture of an interesting tree that stood out from the others. The back cover is a picture I took from way up in the branches of another tree overlooking Broad Bay.
