content: Horenstein photographed DeFord Bailey as part of the "Old Timers' Reunion" at the Grand Ole Opry. Bailey (1899-19820) spent 15 years as an early member of the Grand Ole Opry between 1926 and 1941. As a master of blues, jazz, and old-time country, Bailey was a vital link between older and more modern music styles. He is best known for "Pan American Blues,' a harmonic piece that sounds like a passing locomotive.
