Songs of Appalachia: father and daughter make family music

In 1932, when Tom was 4 years old, his grandmother taught him to play "Bile Them Cabbages Down." It was his first tune, and he learned it in bed because his grandmother was afraid he’d drop the fiddle. Tammie, Tom’s daughter, started picking the mandolin at the age of 4 and, by age 12, was hosting her own live music show on radio station WLIL, in Lenoir City.
