Story behind the song
A ditty to promote the things I like best about our rural area, its scenery and its people. Written just in time for a local benefit concert reunited Ironwood, after 20-some years. David (Hollis) Morgan, Dan Major and I had a few rehearsals, but drummer Richard Wills came in cold, so we played mostly tunes we'd done in olden days. This is pretty much a live recording, with a machine drummer.
Lyrics
I'm going where the boss can't find me West Quebec, where the maps don't show I'm sending you an email postcard From Pontiac County, it's all right...
