All summer long we have featured great music inspired by distinctive American places. On Friday's Performance Today, our summer road trip reaches its final stop. We'll hear a new piece by Timothy Mahr called "by blue lake, listening, dreaming" -- music that describes a very special setting in Michigan's Manistee National Forest.
