Abstract:
The music of the Southern Appalachians, called old-time music, is a unique style of traditional playing that is based on the banjo and the fiddle, along with other stringed instruments, such as the guitar, dulcimer, and dobro. From spring to late fall, this style of music is performed all over the state at festivals and at other venues, such as restaurants. Wright lists a number of places where lovers of this music can hear it performed.
