Original songs of Minnesota unsung heroes! Loretta wrote these songs, about real-life people who overcame great challenges. Peter Razor, the subject of Loretta's song, "Where the North Wind Blows," will be on hand to speak to the audience and answer questions after the concert. Peter grew up at the Owatonna State Orphanage in the 1930s and 40s. It was a rough, loveless upbringing, compounded with the bias he encountered as a Native American. At 15, he was put on "farm indenture," working for a farmer in southern Minnesota. This farmer was an alcoholic who abused Peter and nearly killed him one night. But Peter escaped, and the next farm he was placed on was in Caledonia, MN. Lee and Pat Klug took him into their home on the farm, and ended up turning Peter's life around. They were the first kind people he had encountered, and he decided to "be like them!" Mrs Pat Klug still lives on the same farm, outside Caledonia.
