Dunbar
Liner notes
A northwoods folk song with acoustic guitar and warm vocals about the quiet timber town of Dunbar, Wisconsin. The lyrics tell stories of the old Dunbar Fire Tower watching over the dense pine forests and the memories echoing down Schabels Road. It captures the rugged, glacial lake country spirit of Marinette County and the legacy of the early rail lines.
