Didn't County Music actually start in Fries,VA?

The birth of Country Music dates back to the 1927 Ralph Peel recordings made in Bristol TN/VA. The saying is "Country Music was born in Bristol, grew up in Knoxville, had a career in Nashville, and retired to Branson."

@@beagle28681 That is considered "Old Timey Music" not Country Music. Hell, you could say "She's Coming around the Moutain" is the first Country song instead of a Folk song. But the thing is the 1927 Ralph Peel's recordings in Bristol is considered the birth of Country Music. That's not me saying that; that's musical histories saying that. If you have a problem with that, why don't you march your ass down to Bristol and argue with them there. I'm sure they will set you straight.
