Liner notes

Write a midwest folk song with vocals about the quiet village of Almond, Wisconsin. Sing about the old stagecoach days when Jacob Meyers first settled the land and the historic bank building that still stands on Main Street. Let the lyrics reflect the town's motto to 'Soar with eagle pride' and the close-knit community around the Almond-Bancroft schools.
