Donna Cody is an aspiring fiddler with contentious ideas about what constitutes the great cathedral of folk music. She dreams of John and Alan Lomax camping on the side of the road, Cecil Sharp and Maud Karpeles trekking through the mysterious Appalachians, collecting their treasures. Like them, she longs to find the true old-time players of tunes and singers of songs before it's too late.
In her sky-blue Rambler, with her newfound banjo-playing, cigar-smoking, proverb-spouting friend, Sandy Panther, Donna Cody will collide with:
· a dog named Buster and some cows
· folksingers
· earnest young Christians
· a writer
· an innkeeper
· prison guards and their prisoners
· a shantyboater
· feral cats
· a Nashville record producer
· and more.
Will Donna Cody find the living music without getting herself and her companions killed? Will Sandy Panther find fame and fortune and a recording contract? It's a dark and mysterious time, with no Internet or tiny handheld thingamajigs to help out. But together, maybe these two women can find just what they need, even if it's not always what they've been looking for.
