- In the late 60's early 70's, this song was 1 of 5 on the ND promotional floppy 45rpm, running at 33rpm. Remember those?
Even though we were a progressive rock group then, we’d play this for a hoot. I'll have to populate the video with old pictures from the days of traveling & performing thru the Midwest.
The pops and poor quality reflect the medium. I'll remove the pops and noise and update the video later. (Posting this for all my MAFB friends and alumni)
edit: yes there were 4 more songs.

YES 👍 growing up 🎤 singing this 🎶🎵I love it!🧡 Born in Oakes & raised near Havana, North Dakota!!🙌
Great song. I'm glad I come from North Dakota.
I'm at the Dallas International Guitar show this weekend, put on by a long time friend. It's been a while, but when I get back home I'll do my best to finish up and post the other 4 songs. They're all really good!!
I've met musicians all over the US in my travels, and I ask them if they've been to ND. A lot of them say yes, at which time I tell them they should play one of the songs on this little flexible 45rpm if they really want to show their appreciation for the good life in ND! And of course to win over the crowd! (The goal of every performer). 🙂
"America" States be like brings me here. Hi from Ural Mountains.

When I met my bro-in-law in Guam in 1971, while I was on R&R from the Army in Vietnam, and he was stationed at Andersen AFB with USAF, we talked about our lives beyond.
We had grown up as schoolmates in Mandan, along the Missouri River of North Dakota.
I found no opportunities within the state for my skills, so I left to go elsewhere.
Yet, he had some time to go with his enlistment, so he requested to be stationed at Grand Forks AFB as his first choice.
He was asked, "Why the hell would anyone want to go there?"
His response was something like, "BTDT. Love it. Can do it. No problem." He did that.
I grew up in Bottineau and live in Fargo. This song is awesome. Thanks for sharing!
Not from North Dakota, but this is a gem. Hope to visit one day.
Glad you like the ND song. There are 4 more. North Dakota is great place to live, and most born here have the best manners and are very patriotic!
We’re from a military family and have lived & traveled all over the US, literally from top to bottom and west coast to east coast. It’s a precious one of a kind country, that half of our current population haven’t a clue what it took (family sacrifices) to get here!! I know, I’ve lost family members protecting our life in every generation since the early 1800s, including more recently my Dad and an Uncle.
Never even driven through north Dakota but I love this so much. This song has power
North Dakota is underrated. I would love to visit sometimes. Asian American here 🙌
I remember those records. I liked the one that had the lyric.....Dakota, Dakota where a man stands tall."
We are looking forward to visiting North Dakota during our travels. We are retired military so we might stop in at the Air Force Base too.
Wayward Waggs, if you’ve never seen the base it’s quite large. Lived on base 60-64, then back in town 71-74. Waking up at 2am with all 52’s taking off within 18-20min is a rumble you never forget. My Dad was a 52 pilot.
The missile squadron folks are there too, so lots of folks.
Its flat as a pancake there!
ALL WE DO IS DRINK
The North Dakota State Fair is in Minot, late part of July. Good time to visit the base if you’re planning on a summer trip up North.
No sure if the nuclear proof PRIDE bldg (Professional Results In Daily Efforts) & Cold War alert shacks are still in use, or if you can even visit them. In the old days you could. (We live in a different America today)
I'm Dakota North. Cool song.
BTDT, I'm old enough.
Having "Growing Up In Mandan (GUIM)", I've listened to 'K-Fire (KFYR)' and 'K-Bomb (KBOM) for many, many years at the time, I've enjoyed songs such as this.
We might be in "fly-over country" to some, but that never lessens our lives in DakotaLand, imho.
I remember Mandan well!
I played in a couple of bands between 71 and 74, based out of Minot, that played so much around North Dakota that we didn’t need a map anymore. We thought we were rockstars, so we usually blew into every town with a slight attitude. Consequently, we weren’t treated very well, then, especially with our long hair.
Well, here’s an update on where us long haired ND kids went.
1. I went on to get a BSEE, & spent 38years as a senior design/test/prod engr for DOD in many high profile systems.
2. Our organist finished his degree at MSC, & went on to manage several large plants in the DFW area.
3. Our drummer got his technical degree in Tx, worked for Rockwell, & now for L3 Harris, a major DOD company in Tx.
4. Our singer, from Devils Lake also worked in production for a DOD company, but sadly has passed due to cancer.
5. Our bassist went on to be a regional guru in the SE. He speaks many languages now.
Well, there you have it, that’s where those ND Hippies went.
-> Vote for Kelly Armstrong for ND Governor!!!! He’s da man!
I have one of the floppy records that I think were included in a newspaper at the time of the 1989 centennial
Im from Alabama and this song still slaps
Fun Fact: This song beat Shazam, you’re listening to a song with this being one of three proofs of its existence!
Come on bud, let's get that audio restored! it's been five years!
Great song :)
Love North Dakota from Minnesota!
1:06 North Dakota
My dad came home from a business trip back in 75 or 76 and gave me one of the records. Im not sure if its this one or one of the others. Do you have the others or a link to the other 4?
Northerncalwolf I only converted this track. There are 4 others.
Could I use this in a film one day?
From who is the song?
Have you heard this one
-> It’s looking more and more like Gov Burgum might be Trump’s VP pick. *** He needs a VP who understands energy to get our countries energy businesses back up and running!
-> So, I better get the rest of those ND promotional songs posted this month!
Teddy Roosevelt:

next thing you know he was the President!”🎵

Yes he would have. However he’s passed. 🙁
