Bonduel
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Bonduel, Wisconsin, where the legend of Reverend Bonduel and his two bears still echoes down South First Street. The acoustic guitars and gentle fiddles capture the quiet rhythm of this Shawano County crossroads, passing by the old Community Archives and the nearby farm stands.
