Jon,

Great Lyrics.  See people with music in their blood do great things.  That is why I think the NC School of the Arts needs to remember the history of North Carolina music and start “Roots Music and Dance.”  For example East Tennessee State has bluegrass and old time country music in their curriculum, and maybe even tap or square dancing (Clogging and Buck Dancin’) could be included. 

Even Andy Griffith understood the importance of mountain music by adding it in on the Andy Griffith show, and even Martin Guitar Co. even made a D-18 in honor of ole Andy.

 To my friends who were “cultured” at the School of the Arts, let us support homegrown NC Music!
