Sunset Set Live - D.A.R. State Park, Addison, VT / Lake Champlain - June 25th, 2017

Getting back into the United States from Canada was annoying, but we can't let those terrorists win...

After doing the Woodchuck Cider factory tour, we headed over to DAR state park. We found a nice patio thing overlooking Lake Champlain and decided to set up there.

Just like Fitzroy Provincial Park in Ontario, we had to wagon in the deep cycle battery and the inverter to power the evening. Unlike there, it didn't rain. It stayed off windy and eventually calmed down.

I've started doing a minor spoken intro and a short wrap-up.

This set, possibly the most beautiful so far, is dedicated to my friend Clayton Starmaster. I'm sorry you had to go.

Words at War: Soldier To Civilian / My Country: A Poem of America

Russell Wheeler Davenport (1899—April 19, 1954) was an American publisher and writer.

Davenport was born in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, the son of Russell W. Davenport, Sr., a vice president of Bethlehem Steel, and Cornelia Whipple Farnum.

He served with the U.S. Army in World War I and received the Croix de Guerre. He then enrolled at Yale University and graduated in 1923, where he was classmate of Henry Luce and Briton Hadden, who founded Time magazine. While at Yale he became a member of the secret society Skull and Bones. In 1929, he married the writer Marcia Davenport; they divorced in 1944. He joined the editorial staff of Fortune magazine in 1930 and became managing editor in 1937.

At age forty-one, he turned to politics and became a personal and political advisor to Wendell Willkie. Willkie was the Republican nominee for the 1940 presidential election and lost the election to Franklin D. Roosevelt. After Willkie's death in 1944, Davenport became a defacto leader of the internationalist Republicans.

Following World War II, he was on the staff of Life and Time until 1952. His book The Dignity of Man was published posthumously in 1955.
