Well, here's a link to The Julie Plante. Another good song from the Lakes is Red Iron Ore.

When I was ten, we moved from Detroit to Wind Point, north of Racine, Wisconsin. We could see a lighthouse out our front window, and occasionally saw the ore boats in the distance. I loved it there and still call it home, but my parents never adjusted. Every summer, my parents took the five of us kids back to Detroit for vacation - and they still go to Detroit for vacation every year, forty years after they moved away. One thing I loved about Detroit was the river. It was a great place to watch a constant parade of those wonderful ore boats.
