Granton
Liner notes
A midwest folk song about the quiet, enduring spirit of Granton, Wisconsin. The lyrics tell the story of a small dairy community where Dr. Rath made his rounds for fifty years and George Amidon ran the local drug stores. It captures the nostalgia of a tight-knit Clark County village preserving its memories in old photographs and antique match holders.
