Swamps Of Sadness(Q - Bonic Re - Mix)

This is my ode to Elias Jackson "Lucky" Baldwin (April 3, 1828 – March 1, 1909)

I wrote this at the L.A. Arboretum when I took my wife and boys yesterday. If you've never been there, it's basically like paradise in LA of all places. I was thinking about Baldwin, the man who owned hundreds of acres of land over a hundred years ago and was a very prominent business man and investor who left his mark all over southern California. 

Growing up I heard many rumors and stories about people seeing Lucky Baldwin's ghost at the arboretum and also at the Santa Anita race track. The Queen Ann Cottage that sits on the land that he owned has been preserved over the years and has all of the period furniture and decor for public viewing. Go down there and you might catch a glimpse of E.J. "Luck" Baldwin.
