Mulberry Bend is a spot on the last natural stretch of the Missouri River. It's beautiful and relatively undiscovered. My friend Dennis Nelsen and I go up there a lot to play music and watch the eagles fly. It gets really dark there at night because there's nothing around for miles. The night skies are beautiful and we figure we don't know a song until we can play in pitch black darkness.
