He preserved and promoted the Appalachian mountain tradition for generations of people, founding in 1928 the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in Asheville, North Carolina, an annual event that has shaped America's festival movement. Loyal Jones pens a lively biography of a man considered to be Appalachian music royalty. He also includes a \"Lunsford Sampler\" of ballads, songs, hymns, tales, and anecdotes, plus a discography of his recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 272\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.79 x 8.92 x 6.08 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 26, 2002\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47468615663869,"sku":"9780813190273","price":49.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/3414\/0157\/files\/OUxGVEhmS0k2ODFJRS9XakwyVDNSQT09.webp?v=1777290607","url":"https:\/\/booktolia.com\/products\/minstrel-of-the-appalachians-the-story-of-bascom-lamar-lunsford-paperback","provider":"booktolia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
