Craig wrote this song during the 2007 recession when he was living in Elkhart County, Indiana, the epicenter of RV production. Jobs were gone, homes were lost, things were bleak for a lot of people. In the midst of that, humans still found ways to connect and to love.
Noteworthy moment:
You can remember that humans made this if you can catch Craig knocking his pick against his mandolin towards the end of the song. The sounds is similar to someone kicking a mic stand. AI generated? Absolutely not.
Big thanks to Realgrey Records for their excellence in helping us make this and all the songs on our debut EP come alive. We will forever see Ron bouncing in delight in his chair in front of the controls as we worked on this one!
