Improvised and driven by fiddle and banjo, it was all about feel, not form. Bascom Lamar Lunsford helped turn it from a backwoods tradition into a celebrated art, launching the Mountain Dance and Folk Festival in 1928 and giving those stomping, sliding steps a lasting stage. #appalachia #country | Truck Stop Chic | Facebook
