Schofield
Liner notes
An americana song about Schofield, Wisconsin, resting between the Eau Claire River and Lake Wausau. The lyrics tell the story of Dr. William Scholfield's old 1840s sawmill and the modern quiet life along Grand Avenue, where locals fish for walleye near the Brooks and Ross Dam.
