A Wonderful Insight

I first stumbled upon this book at my local library. I enjoyed it so much I just had to have my own copy. Everyone knows the story of how Blues, Jazz, & Rock-n-Roll developed. But this resource fills in the details. The chronological format is a wonderful help to understanding the development of American music and it's details in the stream of time.
