about

THIEF RIVER FALLS RIVER THIEF – My grandmother’s sister Babe lived to be over 100. She lived in the wilds of northern Minnesota. She made her living buying wild rice from the People—the Ojibwe or Anishanaabe, as they came off the lakes in their canoes. She bought the rice on the shore and took it to town. Her husband was a fur trapper. I have faint memories of pelts, hides, and fur all around their home. My dad and I went up to her 100th birthday party. Someone asked her why she still lived alone in a 2nd story apartment. Her reply: “What do you think keeps me going—it’s all those damn steps I go up and down every day.” Remnants of the old homestead still remain up there, including three Shogren namesakes: the Impoundment (a fancy name for a swamp), the Cemetery, and the Dam. Note that the guitar and mandolin are both tuned in what is called Sawmill tuning…CGCGCE, which only seemed appropriate for a song about Aunt Babe.
