STRINGS OF LIFE - CONVERSATIONS WITH OLD-TIME MUSICIANS FROM VIRGINIA AND NORTH CAROLINA by Kevin Donleavy: 15 years in the making, this wonderful book documents the lives of more than 500 musicians from eleven counties in northwestern North Carolina and southwestern Virginia. Musicologist and historian Kevin Donleavy lets the musicians themselves tell the stories of how popular old-time tunes evolved, their remembrances of long passed musicians, stories of growing tobacco, making moonshine, playing at neighborhood jamborees, more. The focus is on fiddle and banjo players. Includes an index of more than 1100 musicians (dating from 1870), photos from family albums, and detailed discographies. 347 pp.
