Michigan based singer/storyteller Bill Jamerson, will present an hour-long musical tribute to the Wisconsin lumberjacks on Wednesday, June 26 at 4 pm at the Ripon Public Library This event is free and open to the public.
Jamerson will share stories from the lumberjack era and sing traditional lumberjack songs with his guitar. Dressed in period costume, the presentation is as entertaining as it is important; as honest as it is fun.
The program is about people both ordinary and extraordinary, with stories of strength, wit and charm. Many of the stories he tells came from his grandfather who was a cook in a lumber camp. He will share stories he acquired over the past two decades from people who had family members who worked in the woods.
