The Opera House Story SessionsAuthor: Opera House Story Sessions
Carried on the transcendent tones of fiddle and banjo, this podcast blends music and storytelling to showcase the artists preserving central Appalachias musical history. Come along as we hear about the first families of old-time and bluegrass, the 1970s festival scene, and pickin parties where classic tunes are passed down. Starting in 2020, when the Pocahontas County Opera House couldnt have live concerts because of the pandemic, we individually hosted local musical legends to share songs and stories in our beautiful, empty opera house. This podcast is the result of those story sessions. Language: en Genres: Music, Music Interviews Contact email: Get it Feed URL: Get it iTunes ID: Get it Trailer: |

Monday, 29 August, 2022
In this episode, I sit down with Mary Sue Burns. She is best known for her Paleozoic banjo picking, shaping young minds, and playing in groups like Juanita Fireball and the Continental Drifters. We will also hear about the first women in banjo and how she found a silver lining in the pandemic when she picked back up the fiddle.
