Cuba City
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Cuba City, Wisconsin, where the presidential shields line Main Street. The lyrics tell the story of a town originally called Yuba, surrounded by endless corn fields at harvest time. It captures the quiet pride of a small farming community where history lives on the sidewalks.
