First sentence: Carl and I grew up in the 1940s when the dominant home entertainment media were aural-radio and records-so that it was our ears rather than our eyes that first drew us to the intensity of bluegrass.
Description: "The fruit of four decades of collaboration between bluegrass music's premier photographer and premier historian, Bluegrass Odyssey is a satisfying and visually alluring journey into the heart of a genuinely American music. Combining Neil V. Rosenberg's commentary with more than two hundred of Carl Fleischhauer's photographs, this visual documentary captures the music making, the culture and community that foster it, and "the places where bluegrass is at home.""--BOOK JACKET.
