"From Austin to Tennessee: The History of Country Music"

This link was provided by a youth services librarian running a fun bluegrass and country music history class for 7-13 year old participants. One of the youngest, Annie, asked if this page could be shared since this is where she initially became interested in country music.
Our thanks to Tracy and Annie.

Don't forget to stop at Steve Kaufman's website. Go to: http://www.flatpik.com

We encourage music organizations and festivals to use our Contact US page about adding their acoustic music-related links to our website. We ask that they also add a link to the Winlock Pickersfest website on their website or social networking site (i.e., Facebook, etc.). Thanks!
