My 2024 #Genealogy #Goals is to work on #Appalachian #Notables from the #BristolSessions, considered to be the first recordings of modern #CountryMusic, on #WikiTree.
Mother Maybelle of the Carter Family.
She's primarily remembered for her mastery of the autoharp. Her innovative fingerpicking techniques & ability to create complex melodies on the instrument helped popularize it in country music.
