The Fiddler Nätte-Kalle of Hogdal

Bohuslän · Sweden · Site of legend

In the midst of the holy-day dance the fiddler saw a shaggy-legged man dancing alone in the ring — and smashed his fiddle against the wall.

At Lommeland it is told of the fiddler Nätte-Kalle of Hogdal, who played both weekday and holy day. On a great feast day, perhaps Christmas Day, he played for dancing young folk. Then he saw a man with shaggy legs dancing alone in the middle of the ring. Nätte-Kalle struck his fiddle against the wall so the pieces flew, and after that day he never played again.
