The info on history of country music was very good, and informative. 4-7-09, by Matt Bjorke. I'm 74 years young and remember my Dad talking about Jimmie Rodgers, Bill Monroe, and the Carter family. I'm a retired country musician, and knew some of the history, Many thanks to Roughstock and Matt Bjorke. Would love to see more on history of this kind. Good Job!!! Jack B.
