Trivia/Info

  • This is the same basic recording as the version on State Songs (EP), but mixed differently and adding a saxophone solo in the final verse.
  • The song is based entirely on a repeating chromatic scale in the bass line. All 12 notes of the chromatic scale are played over and over.
  • From the State Songs liner notes:
In 1899 the title of Oregon's State Flower was bestowed upon the Oregon Grape (Berberis aquifolium). The Beaver State leads the nation in its peppermint and blackberry production.
