There really is no focus to "Cumberland Revisited" other than 1) it is strictly about musicians who are either from Knoxville or have been based here so long it's like home and 2) they have to have played somewhere in public along the UT campus/Strip/Ft Sanders/Market Square/Old City axis. In other words the downtown-to-UT oriented area. Also, they have to have been active musically here between the '60s and the present. No MidDay Merry-Go-Round performers or Everly Bros. era stuff.... altho I'd love to find someone who could write a quick summary of earlier eras to serve as a tip-of-the-hat to the patriarchs of Knoxville's great music.

As far as the Folk forum goes, I seriously need something on the Mumbillies. A good overview of the current, vibrant Laurel Theater scene would be great (if the main focus were local musicians).
