Spring is here, but we are just now able to share with you the wonderful event, Pop Wagner: Rolling on a Winter’s Night, which was held December 9, 2015 at the University of Minnesota’s Elmer L. Andersen Library.

Gary Davis); and “Shake Sugaree,” (Elizabeth Cotten).
The event was sponsored by the Friends of the University of Minnesota Libraries.
