  1. At this moment I can't leave a more adequate thanks for this complicated, unpredicatable, and wonderfully detailed history. I'm VERY interested in learning about Ethel P. Richardson. I've worked with many early materials related to Tennessee music and the Cumberland Plateau region, and hope to communicate with the author of this piece. My email address is fulchrj@aol.com

  2. At this moment I can't leave an adequate thanks for this complicated, unpredicatable, and wonderfully detailed history. I'm very interested in learning more about Ethel P. Richardson. I met several Tennessee musicians from the hillbilly 78 era, and interviewed a few, and, over a period of 30 years, extensively interviewed traditional musicians from the Cumberland Plateau region.
