In the 1940s and ‘50s in the interior of British Columbia, a logger and mandolin player quietly and humbly amassed one of the largest repertoires of mandolin tunes from the province. Somehow, this unknown woodsman with a rough mandolin style ended up recording and releasing an album with the Folkways record label, the biggest folk music imprint in the world. It’s remained an underground cult release for over 50 years. In this episode, you’ll learn about the mysterious life and music of Stanley G. Triggs.
