Bluegrass in Baltimore: The Hard Drivin' Sound and Its Legacy





I heard Tim Newby talk about his book, Bluegrass in Baltimore:  The Hard Drivin' Sound and its Legacy, at the CHS Read across America event yesterday, Wednesday, Feb. 25th.  The room was packed and the audience was totally engaged with Tim's powerful presentation.  He covered many interesting connections the book has to his life, such as: how he came up with the idea for the book, his interviews of those who started bluegrass in Baltimore back in the 40's and his enthusiasm for bluegrass and its history in Baltimore.  I am looking forward to reading Tim's book!
