Bad References

It seems that some of this article could be deleted out right. Why? Because many of the links used for references go to personal web sites or country fan started web sites or sites that deal in the commerce of country music... roughstock.com? bluegrassbanjo.org? cowboylyrics.com? rcarecordslabel.com? Where did they get their information?
So let's start deleting much of the article... ok? UNLESS you want to merge the section that is labeled "Further reading" into the "References" section but then someone would have to read those books and cite page numbers to correspond to the sections in this article.
