Abstract:
In quality and strength of its musical traditions, few areas of the United States compare with the region of the Blue Ridge Mountains. The region's old-time, bluegrass, and gospel music finds expression in the extraordinary talents of individual musicians and supports from a systems of institutions that include families, schools, churches, conventions, festivals, record companies and radio stations.
