Brown Deer
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about the bustling yet historic Village of Brown Deer. The lyrics tell the legend of a brown deer jumping through a saloon door, while celebrating the modern community gathering at the Farmers Market by the Village Park pond. It reflects on the town's growth along Brown Deer Road and its proud preservation of the 1884 Little White Schoolhouse.
