Viola
Liner notes
A lively country song about September in Viola, Wisconsin, where the annual Horse and Colt Show brings the whole town together. The lyrics celebrate the roar of the tractor pulls and the twang of country music echoing near Banker Park. It captures the spirit of a small farming community proud of its roots and the ancient effigy mounds resting quietly by the river.
