Come And Go, Molly Snow (was:RE: Devil's Dream (WAS: Cold Mountain))

Kelly's post reminded me to mention my favorite novel about country-type
music, specifically bluegrass.  Written by Mary Ann Taylor-Hall, Come And
Go, Molly Snow is a story about a young woman fiddler struggling to
reconcile herself to the accidental death of her daughter; it's got some of
the best writing about the experience of playing bluegrass I've ever read.
I believe it's out in paperback now...

One of the best things that I ever did was to get my mother to start
reading Lee Smith. Now we have something to talk about at Thanksgiving.
Couldn't get into "Fair and Tender Ladies" or "Family Linen", but "Saving
Grace" ruled in Hell. But then again, I'm a sucker for snake handling.
