There is so much to write of here....from our music societies to those who have become famous.  We need pictures and music files of the famous and their teachers.  My own music teacher Ina Walden Harrison toured with Chatauqua.  I would love to have something special on the Carver High School marching band.  I know there is a story here.  Addie Anderson Wilson

And then there is Wilbur Walton, Jr. , Buddy Buie, John Rainey Adkins, Bobby Goldsboror, etc...........

A music lover could have a lot of fun with this...Connie Miller, Sally Northcutt?  Robert Register?
