Huxtable, Christensen and Hood are three women who sang together, beginning in their college days. They all went to school together in upstate New York (at Skidmore, if memory serve me correctly). Liz Hood grew up in the Adirondacks near Lake George, and according to the liner notes on Wallflowers, Teresina Huxtable wrote "Lake George, 1922" "to prove that she had not fallen asleep while Liz's father told the stories she based it on."

LAKE GEORGE, 1922

Steaming up dark waters that are well defined by pines
Looking up the carbon stacks make straight and sturdy lines
Sagamore and Oregon their boilers like some forge
Are journeying [churning(?)] to that rhythm through the waters of Lake George

Mothers, cats and children carrying all that they could take
Disembark at Huletts or at Baldwin up the lake
Children shriek about the decks, the ladies poke and scold
There's no excuse to run so loose although you're ten years old

Dinner's served with scenery in Oregon's main hall
Roger's Rock is moving by in moonlit early fall
Some stop to think about the ranger trapped by Indian foes
Who changed his fate and chanced the cliff and proudly strode off through the snow

Who can now remember about that night so far away
Sagamore ran aground while pushing through Blairs Bay
Later she was seen by some half sunk and half asleep
You could rattle through her dining room and steal what you could keep

Steaming up dark waters that are well defined by pines
Looking up the carbon stacks make straight and sturdy lines
Sagamore and Oregon their boilers like some forge
Are journeying [churning(?)] to that rhythm through the waters of Lake George

Notes: Hulett's [Landing] is pronounced Hew'-lets. Roger's Rock is the site of a famous incident in the French and Indian Wars. In the spring of 1758, Major Robert Rogers of the Rangers escaped a band of Indians by reversing his snowshoes to confuse the Indian scouts and taking an alternate route down the mountain. The Indians later saw him heading down the lake toward Fort William Henry, some 20 miles away.
