Regardless, what I do know is that, going back ~275 years, at least a part of my family has lived Here. In and around the southern Appalachian Mountains. Some of them were good people who did good work, some of them were bad people who did bad work. Most of them were just people who did the kinds of things people do.
And I can say with a high degree of certainty that nearly every last one of them:
1) Would not have considered themself a musician.
2) Would have spent about 10x as much time in their life performing music as I have.
