The first and probably last all-ski musical ensemble ever to exist, the Ski-A-Delics were formed in Boston in during the depression of the late eighties and quickly became that region's signature sound of the time. The five members of the group, Greg Wildes, Jonathan Sahula, Patrick Donnelly, Laura Burns, and Ed Osborn each played a ski equipped with a single string. Though they had between them fewer strings than are found on an average guitar, the group quickly abandoned the idea of keeping them in tune yet still managed to use them to produce both rhythm and melody lines simultaneously. With their chaotic and often scarcely-memorable performances the group gained quite a following and performed internationally, yet recorded output is hard to find – the clips here are some of the few in existence.
