Program Description
Come to a Skally Line show and we’ll time-travel together to strange corners of Minnesota and meet long lost ancestors. You might all wind up becoming voyageurs together singing a paddling song in French. You might learn to speak a few words of Ojibwe. You will all be smiling, tapping your feet, or clapping, I guarantee it. And if there’s enough room, we’ll have ourselves a little bit of dancing like people did long ago. There’s no better way to meet your neighbor.
Much like the old Skally Line, mine often travels with different passengers. Depending on the show, I can bring in fiddlers, banjo pickers, bassists, and most recently, Mr. Bill Cagley on guitar. Bill’s a full-time musician from Iowa and has played professionally since 1987 across the US. He’s a history nut like me, sings, knows all the old songs, and sells limberjacks, a wooden dancing doll whose tradition goes back hundreds of years.
