This Month’s Issue: On the Road Again
In this issue we’re looking at our typical April travel theme through a slightly different lens: music. After all, music and traveling go hand-in-hand, whether it’s a road trip tradition to pull out of the driveway with Willie Nelson’s “On the Road Again” blaring (that’s mine), or if the music is more of a destination. Learn about the latter as we talk about Appalachian music, what it means for the state and where you can enjoy it live. And are you among those who made it to an Elvis show in the 1950s? Hear from others here. Also, read about how our state’s co-ops were recently represented by an inspiring high school student.
