Mount Horeb
Liner notes
A lively nordic folk song with vocals celebrating the quirky charm of Mount Horeb, Wisconsin. The lyrics sing of strolling down the Trollway on Main Street, passing carved wooden trolls like the Accordion Player and the Chicken Thief. The song captures the proud Norwegian heritage and the high prairie winds blowing past the historic Opera Block.
