Liner notes

A rustic folk song about Westboro, Wisconsin, where the Mondeaux River flows through the northern woods. The lyrics tell of old logging camps and the quiet beauty of the Mondeaux Hardwoods, where the pines stand tall against the sky. A gentle acoustic guitar strums as the singer reflects on the small-town life along Center Street, where the fire hall stands and the community gathers.
