I live within the listening area of WNCW. So I get to hear some old tunes. Bascom Lamar Lunsford came from the Asheville area. Alan Lomax chose him and several others to record for the Smithsonian/WPA. Lunsford is famous for 'Old Mountain Dew'.The barbershop I go to is the Drexel Barber Shop. They've had a jam session every Saturday since the 1950's. They play bluegrass mostly. They're included in the Smithsonian on an hour long film/video. The founder, Lawrence Anthony, once saw Europe during WWII. He was in the 3rd tank behind General George Patton, and was the company barber and entertainer.
