"There is nothing quite like life on the water, in the water, near the water or within sound of water! The coolness of rain on our faces; the sparkle of a drop of dew; the fun of a puddle; the placidness of a pond; the lure of a river; the challenge of a lake; or the tumult of the ocean provide excitement, adventure, inspiration and a time just to drift and dream.
Watersways are our link to things past and things present. Water songs are as new as powerboats and as old as the voyageur's birch bark canoes. This collection of songs can be shared, enjoyed and treasured by lovers of water wherever they may be."
