about

"William Blake’s Dead" was written by fiddler and composer Rodney Miller. Asked about the title, he said, “Jim Jarmusch’s film, Dead Man, stars Johnny Depp as William Blake, (not that William Blake), and is set partly on the Olympic Peninsula [in Washington State].” Neil Young laid down a jarring soundtrack on electric guitar.

The wide valley and abundance of bird varieties made for an easygoing and entertaining trek.
