With characteristic spunk and candor, she describes her \"pooristic\" (\"way beyond 'poverty-stricken'\") Appalachian childhood, and how her brother Scott taught her to play the challenging and innovative three-finger banjo picking style developed by Earl Scruggs. She also warmly recounts Hee Haw-era adventures with Minnie Pearl, Roy Clark, and Buck Owens; her encounters as a musician with country greats like Loretta Lynn, Johnny Cash, June Carter, and Patsy Cline; as well as her personal struggles with shiftless and violent husbands, her relationships with her children, and her musical life after Hee Haw.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51931135607072,"sku":"NEW0252074343","price":25.14,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/pressing-on-the-roni-stoneman-story-music-in-american-life-0252074343","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
