Johnston County's musical heritage is rich. Richer than most of us know. Heck, it's richer than I knew just 2 weeks ago.
Country legend...One of the most legendary country artists ever. No kidding. 
A rising country star.
A gospel legend.
A blues legend.
And a...classical composer???
What??
We need a Johnston County Musical Hall of Fame.

Land of 1000 Dances

One of the first descriptions of North Carolina by the English that would later colonize the area was given by Ralph Lane, the governor of the first attempted colony. In 1585, Gov. Lane referred to the land as "the goodliest soil under the cope of heaven" in his letters back to England.
This podcast will tell the stories of its history, help people see the connections, not only between its "officials" but also between people that history either forgot or chose not to listen to. 
We will tell their stories; the plantation owners, the enslaved people, the displaced native Americans...all of them
