Sounds that trigger

[Eric-Maine]

We stayed " up country" this past  weekend for a tournament. Friday and Saturday nights with the tournament on Sunday. Warm nights, bull frogs singing, and an awesome screen door that had a sweet slamming sound that brought me back 50 or so years. The only thing that was missing was the sound of the whip o will.

As a kid, we had a big wooden rowboat that we rowed up and down the river often trolling a jitterbug at night. The creak and the quiet strokes of the oars, the bubbling of the jitterbug doing it's thing and the anticipation of an explosion out there in the dark.

Oh, to be 10 again.

It's amazing where a slamming door can take you.

Fun to think about the past times and appreciate them.

I wrote a decent song about this once. I'll see if I can find it. It even talks about the sound of a Jitterbug at night...

When I was a kid my uncle bought some land in a fairly undeveloped part of MA and he and my father built a cabin there that became our fishing and hunting base of operations. 6 or 7 steps across the narrow dirt road out front was a nice little pond.

In the warm weather you had the bullfrogs and the owls, and the sweet song of the crickets. For a city kid like me they were odd but soothing sounds.

To this day for me there is nothing like the quiet and fresher air of the country and falling asleep to the song of the crickets.

The burble of a jitterbug in the dark at night and the explosion when a smallmouth decided to eat it, the memories of being on Skaneateles Lake on a moonless night with Dad were special......
