about

A diversity of immigrants and hidden grave sites, ghost towns and forgotten neighborhoods of the northwest...

lyrics

"Chinese worker...works down at the mill...brother's on the railroad...blasting out the hill...family is waiting other side of the world...I see you in the forest...I hear you by the river...are buried on the mountain...like pennies in the fountain...
Man from Sweden...master of the woods...drove his oxen...drove him where he could...sent logs down the river to the mill on the shore...
I see you in the forest....I hear you by the river...are buried on the mountain...like pennies in the fountain...
Humble farmer...came from Vietnam...grew fine fruit on his little farm...sold them at the market took the truck out of the barn...
I see you in the forest...I hear you by the river...are buried on the mountain...like pennies in the fountain..."
