A Whisper in the Mountains. A Look at the Music and People of Appalachia
In this project, Lori McKenzie interviewed Mamie McKenzie, her father John P. McKenzie, and Tommy Barr, the owner of Barr’s Fiddle Shop about Appalachian music. The interviews focused on topics concerning how the music helps identify the Appalachian region, exposing new listeners to the music, and what the music means to Appalachians. These interviews are interesting because they provide a different perspective from many depression stories we have heard.
