Our most musical episode yet, we go to the world famous center of the Country Music Universe, the Carter Family Fold, to ask our Question of the Week, “What’s for supper on the hillbilly table?,” and to get perspective on the question, “What exactly is a hillbilly anyway?” Then, for Hillbillies and Friends, Vicki Shell tells us about her forefather, William Bean, the first non-native settler in Tennessee, her fierce advocacy of our Upper East Tennessee heritage, which we find out has spanned her entire lifetime since childhood, and we hear about how music has shaped her life and how she, in turn, is using music to better and benefit her community of Boones Creek. Finally we end the show with a forgotten favorite hillbilly hymn. Hope y’all enjoy this week’s episode as much as I enjoyed putting it together! God bless y’all and your’n.
