“The gently rolling hills of Eastern Kentucky are rich with musical history: the traditions of songwriting & music making are centuries old & have been passed down from generation to generation. Many of the ancestors of today’s mountain people came to America with barely the clothes on their backs; but very often there was one prized possession nestled among those sparse belongings, a cherished mandolin, a beat up guitar or banjo. To the people who had so little, music meant so much.”
