Abstract:
Traditional mountain music has not fared well over the past decades, and among the younger generations, it was fast becoming almost unknown. Helen White, a guidance counselor for eighteen years in the Alleghany County Schools, is an award-winning songwriter/composer and Fiddlers Grove champion fiddler. Aware of this problem, White began a program at Sparta Elementary School called the Junior Appalachian Musicians program. Students have the opportunity to learn the mandolin, dulcimer, banjo, fiddle, or guitar. Schulman discusses the program's progress since its inception in 2000.

Abstract:
Biltmore Forest was created by developers in the 1920s from 1500 acres of George Vanderbilt's land. Listed in the 1990 census as the state's richest municipality, Biltmore Forest has no sidewalks, traffic lights, main street, or stores. Original lots were three to five acres, and the cost of a house was between $7,500 and $25,000. The town now has 1,500 residents and 640 homes. In 1999, the last lots sold for an average price of $250,000.
