Before I could drive a car I would
walk miles to the nearest record store in search of any
LP with the word of Bluegrass on it. This book is about
that music - the music that pierced the soul of a
fourteen-years old Californian. The Stanley Brothers and
Bill Monroe can still make the hair on the back of my
neck stand up like spring cattails.
