Moon River

From the Archives of Steven Marking

This was a live performance of Our Mighty Mississippi in 2012 at the Muse Theater in La Crosse, Wisconsin. Moon River by Henry Mancini. Paul Leithold put the band together for me. I was experimenting a lot with night film and photography, and I had some beautiful August nights to work with. I became entranced by the moon's reflection on the water. Wavelets made the reflection dance, the current kept it constantly alive, and insects and floating vegetation drifting through interacted with the reflection in a multidimensional dance.
