Fall River
Liner notes
An acoustic folk song with warm vocals reflecting on the history of Fall River, Wisconsin. The lyrics sing of A.A. Brayton's old sawmill and the mud-and-log dam that formed Lazy Lake back in 1845. The gentle acoustic guitar and fiddle evoke the memories of Civil War veterans swapping tales at the Fall River House along the New England style main street.
