"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.
