Donating to the Center for Popular Music at Middle Tenn State

[Gary Hedrick]

I have bundled up all the early bluegrass tapes that my father made of music at Bean Blossom and of WRVA, WWVA, WSM etc radio broadcasts and donated them to the Center. I was very impressed with Dr. Greg Reish and what the Center is doing with the preserving, promoting and disseminating of the music. It is the hope of my brother David and I that by doing this the music will be preserved and most importantly be made available to the public for the furtherance of the music.

Our father was a person that worked hard to promote the music and encourage young and old musicians in their pursuit of it.

I hope this will be of value to the bluegrass music community.
