The tour was incredible, The autumn beauty of this lovely town first of all. David's knowledge of Asheville's history was incredible. Also his knowledge of music...( both past and present was impeccable). I strongly recommend that any musical aficionado that visits Asheville to take this tour. You will not be disappointed. You will leave very well informed of the roots of several genres of music. Enjoy
