G. Oliver Riggs is a Minnesota Music man but without his great-granddaughter’s unearthing of her family history, his story may not have been fully realized. Joy Riggs is the author of “Crackerjack Bands and Hometown Boosters – The story of a Minnesota Music Man”. Joy is an engaging storyteller and you don’t have to be a part of a band to love the book! She shares with our listeners the influence of her great-grandfather, the road-tripping she did with her dad to research G. Oliver’s life and the importance of the Community Band! Joy will be signing books at Thursday’s Northfield Winter Walk at the Northfield Historical Society. NOTE: I had posted the wrong audio! My apologies to Joy. It’s correct now!! joyriggs.com
