At age 14, RayGene Wilson
had music coursing
through his blood.
His family's
roots were in the rich, dark soil of the
Appalachian Mountains in eastern
Tennessee. Clannish and Southern,
they'd always played music. Many
times, using homemade instruments.
The Hensley family settlement
in Cumberland Gap, Tenn., was
now a state park. All the cabins
and schools still stood among the
American beech, yellow birch and
maple trees. Although not open to
the public, the park rangers let the
family visit.
