Thanks for posting "Up in Wisconsin," Corn Field. I haven't heard that one for a while, and I hadn't heard the extra verses. "Weyauwegan" was the one word that threw me, but I found a nice Wikipedia article (with photos) about Weyauwega, a town in Waupaca County with a population of about 1,900. Turns out it's not far from my sister's house in Oshkosh, b'gosh.

I do question the title of the album, Ya, Hey. In southeastern Wisconsin where I come from, that term is never heard. It's "Einah, hey?" - not that I know how to spell the first word. I'm glad that Lou and Peter have finally released an album of Wisconsin songs to the general public. It used to be that they would not perform Wisconsin songs outside the Dairy State, thinking others wouldn't understand them. It took them years to understand that wherever they perform, half of their audiences are Wisconsin exiles, longing for home (but enjoying not being so cold).
