From front porch banjo pickers in Appalachia and the Bluegrass Festival circuit to black children on the Carolina sea islands, cowboys, and Cheyenne and Comanche Indians, they have all retained their cultural identities despite pressures from the mass media and popular culture. "An eloquent testimonial to those enclaves within America where music-making endures as a key to a people's cultural identity." -- Karen Cooper, The Film Forum, New York City
