| Listed below are the people we are interested in finding photos and information about who have developed and passed down our Mountain Music. The book will mainly be made up of pictures with brief captions (70 words or less) accompanying each picture giving the important details. It would also be helpful to have some written background information along with the pictures and how to get in touch with you in case we would like to get further information. | |||
