Dan Berggren returned from the army to his Adirondack home 40 years ago. The Pub in Olmstedville – now the Owl at Twilight – is where Dan sang his first Adirondack song.
It was about his grandfather Harry Wilson. Dan wrote the song while stationed in Frankfurt, Germany; a studio version appears on the 1985 album Adirondack Green.
Here is a live performance of the song recorded in 1975 at The Pub in Olmstedville: https://soundcloud.com/berggrenfolk/harry
