Bess & Erica’s Rock ’N’ Roll Music Hour

This week is VERY special!
Our special guest Mrs. Nora Lee Hayter is one of the LAST living relatives to the Carter Family and second cousins to June Carter Cash.
We go on site to her home here in Franklin and chat with her about her life and growing up in the Carter Family.
She also plays with us on her special auto-harp gifted to her by the one and only Mother Maybelle Carter and she plays an original song,
"My Clinch Mountain Home" about her life story.

My grandmother and I play with her as well and we cover Johnny Cash and Porter Wagoner's
"Green, Green Grass of Home."
My grandmother Bessie sings an old gospel song
"The River of Jordan"

On this episode we are on-site at our special guest, Cathy Buchanan's home here in Franklin, TN.
We interview her about her life and her own musical talent, and find out she is a brilliant mosaic artist.
We each sing a song and share some funny anecdotes.
