§ §

The Goose Island Ramblers were a beloved trio of musicians from southern Wisconsin: George Gilbertson, Bruce Bollerud, and "Windy" Whitford. They performed a style of music that the folklorist Jim Leary has described as “polkabilly.” That is, they perform German-Polish dance music, along with southern hillbilly music.

When they went on stage, they gave a complete show. They reminded listeners that country music was once more than just a singer going before a microphone, doing a song, and then leaving the stage. They recall the days when country music was a complete stage show, full of humor, dance, songs, and all kinds of entertainment.
