In this episode, Will (and unfortunately not Neil) sits down with Dr. Kathy Bullock, a Professor Emerita of Berea College where she focused on African American Music and Music Theory.  Dr. Bullock explains the musical connections of African American Music and traditional Appalachian Music she came to better understand while she taught in the Appalachian region.  As the Appalachian region can be complex, Dr. Bullock shares her experience moving to the region and her deep sentiments for Berea and the region she has made a home in.  Take a listen as she describes how musical connections occurred throughout the region and how our interpretations of the sound and movements are not all that different.  You might also hear Dr. Bullock's own voice throughout the episode.  Also, don't forget the #AppBiz of the week: John C. Campbell Folk School!
