welcome!

I did a lot of research when writing ÒPrairie Gold,Ó and was very happy to learn that there had been a Minneapolis-Moline dealership in Baraboo, just up the road from the family farm in Some Kind of Sign. After all, it is the most mellifluous tractor brand name; nothing else comes close.

As far as I know, this is the only song that celebrates the Model R Minneapolis-Moline. Or, for that matter, any model
Minneapolis-Moline.

On hearing this song, MarnieÕs grandfather said, ÒThatÕs pretty good,
but now you have to write one about Farmalls.Ó (I still havenÕt done that, but it would likely happen before I wrote one about John Deeres.)

As with all the songs in
Some Kind of Sign, I wrote
ÒPrairie GoldÓ in October 2003.
