The people of the late 1930's saw some fun music made by some remarkable women.
Lily May Ledford and her band from Pinchem Tight Holler, KY (YEOW!!) play for President Roosevelt, First Lady Eleanor and the King and Queen of England. She almost hugs the queen.
Clara Rockmore almost gives up music entirely until she meets Leon Theremin and literally writes the book on a new instrument.
Featuring the voices of Julia Purcell, Mick Sullivan and sounds by Todd Hildreth.
