First sentence: Although the roots of country music extend well back into the formative years of our nation's history, the idiom experienced such a spurt of growth in 1922-24, when it was first captured in the grooves of phonograph records, that it is convenient - and not too misleading - to speak of the developments of those years as the beginnings of country music.
