Muskego
Liner notes
A midwestern folk song about Muskego, Wisconsin, where the waters of Big Muskego Lake reflect the changing seasons. The lyrics tell of the old Norwegian settlers who built their lives near the sunfish-filled waters, and the memories of summer days at the old DandiLion Park. Warm acoustic guitars and gentle vocals carry the story of this Waukesha County town.
