This piece today is partly the result of some research I did this morning. Lately I've been reading some New York history - old history - around 1600 when the inhabitants here were the Lenapé Indians. Coincidentally, this afternoon my wife and I are doing an historical walking tour of lower Manhattan covering the period of the revolution, probably the late 1700's or so. I'm pretty facinated with the history of my new town so this is really a fun time.

I've already started an "early New York City history" themed recording project with a few tunes completed. I just listened to some Lenapé songs on YouTube and that's what led to the makeup of todays piece. Let's say it's inspired by the reading and listening I did this morning, distilled into a minute long song.
