Da Yoopers

Jim "Hoolie" DeCaire and Joe Potila, two songwriters from Ishpeming, Michigan, began writing music together in 1975.

At the time, Potila was a student of film at Northern Michigan University in nearby Marquette, where Anderson was also manager of an optometry center and Pennell repaired engines.

The Wausau Daily Herald also reported that the song began receiving airplay on stations in Alaska and Maine.

[2][6][7] This song also received considerable airplay throughout the Midwestern United States and on Dr. Demento's radio shows.

[8] According to The La Crosse Tribune, "Second Week of Deer Camp" received airplay on stations in South Dakota and West Virginia, as well as on the Satellite Music Network's Pure Gold radio show, at the time based out of Dallas, Texas, and airing on more than 160 radio networks in the United States.

[9] By the release of Camp Fever, the band's third album, Joe DeLongchamp had replaced Pennell on bass guitar.

It also included the first song of the band's career not to be written by Potila or DeCaire, as DeLongchamp wrote the title track.

[12] Another track on the album is "Diarrhea", cited by Pam Tonge (then the manager of the band's office) as a fan favorite.

The band promoted this album through concert tours in 1990, by which point Dave "Doc" Bradbury had replaced DeLongchamp on bass guitar.

By this point, Bobby "Sy" Symons had become the band's touring drummer, although DeCaire continued to play drums in studio.

This comical museum has various other displays which tourists are encouraged to see in order to understand the humor of the Yooper culture.
