In this interview, I sat down in conversation with historian John Harrod.

John Harrod is known for being a historian who documents Kentucky's old-style traditional music, specifically its strong fiddle tradition. Here he shares the power of his drinkable water as an expression of love for preserving traditional old-style music.

Important corrections:

*The mention of Angels in America statement correction is that George C. Wolfe directed Angels in America. The Colored Museum is a play written by George C. Wolfe. *The mention of Spike, about term "The Magical Negro" was assumed with uncertainly to be coined by filmmaker Spike Lee.
