Few performers achieve a status where their music is synonymous with the place they call home. Dolly Parton would be such an icon of Tennessee, for instance. Likewise, no one evokes the image of “moonlight through the pines” in Georgia more than Ray Charles or the ancient tones of Kentucky’s bluegrass hills like Bill Monroe. Arguably no one person is as associated with the sound of the North Carolina mountains, perhaps even the entire state of North Carolina, as Doc Watson. As we celebrate what would have been Watson’s 100th birthday on March 3, we’ll look at the lasting legacy of Doc and cover how generations of musicians and music lovers influenced and inspired by his sound are honoring the man as eternal as the Carolina mountains with a host of events and an outpouring of memories. ...read more

Much closer to home, we started wondering about the iconic centerpiece of the Front Room at the Original Mast General Store. Just what is the story of the pot-bellied stove? ...read more

Back 40 years ago, you couldn't grab a bite to eat in the Valle. It meant a drive to Boone or to Banner Elk or to Mountain City over in Tennessee. That is until John and Faye Cooper decided to open the Mast Store Deli. Sandwiches and soups were served in the back of the store. Here's a little of that story, including a bit of it in Faye's own words. ...read more

Who's ready for another diversion or two? By now, our new routines are, well, routine. Get up, make coffee, fix breakfast, send the students to school in one corner of the living room, and set up the office on the kitchen table. This week's Boredom Busters will revisit a skill that many of us have let slip in the days of GPS, offer up a few podcasts, and send a jigsaw puzzle or two your way. ...read more

The holidays – it’s a time when lots of questions are asked. How do reindeer fly? How does Santa visit everybody’s house all on one night? And what would be a good thing to get John, Susan, and Beth?
