Liner notes

An acoustic folk ballad about the tiny, quiet community of Brunsville, Iowa, founded back in 1911. The lyrics tell the story of a close-knit town of just over a hundred people gathering at the local American Legion post. It paints a picture of simple midwestern life near the Prairie Rose Golf Club where everyone knows your name.
