Description: "The International Bluegrass Music Museum presents, for the first time in book form, carefully researched and engagingly written profiles of the pioneers of bluegrass music.  The authors, who knew most of the Hall of Fame members personally, document not only the facts and career accomplishments of these men and women, but also capture a sense of their personalities and their impact upon fellow musicians and fans.  The biographical sketches are accompanied by photographic portraits, many never-before published.  A brilliant and multi-colored bluegrass mosaid emerges in this historical work, and handsome addition to the libraries of music lovers everywhere."
