    I suppose the first "southern" music (other than "Dixie") that I was really aware of, growing up, was stuff in an old country music song book that belonged to my father--tunes like "Hallelujah I'm a Bum." But I can't say that I heard much of that music, and it was identified as Country, not Southern. Then in college I began enjoying bluegrass--Doc Watson, the Dillards, and even the Seldom Scene. After college, I saw Doc & Merle Watson in New York City.

Also, a college friend had a jug band, which performed Jim Kweskin jug band tunes almost exclusively; and of course Kewskin's tunes come from old-time groups like the Memphis Jug Band.
