Liner notes

A lively polka tune celebrating the deep German roots and fur trading history of Theresa, Wisconsin. The song sings of the old Solomon Juneau Home standing proud since 1847 near the flowing Rock River. Accordions swell as the lyrics toast with Pioneer Beer and Brick cheese curds under the big tent on Henni Street.
