lyrics

Dad held forth about our family in Muncie, Indiana, America, and the first half of the twentieth century. Dad held forth, a wry, serious, meandering tale, a tale of immigration, a tale of Midwest settlement, farmers, factory workers, athletes, educators, and women, women who held it together.
Dad held forth about our family in Muncie, Indiana, America.
