The exhibit, From Moonshine Kate to the Sunshine Boys: WSB and Atlanta Country Music, 19221950, will be on display through September on Library North 1. The exhibit features sound recordings and sheet music from the librarys music archives, and was created by Pullen archivists Laura Botts and Mary McMahon.

Daniel, retired Georgia State professor and the author of Pickin on Peachtree, a historical account of country music in Atlanta. All are invited to attend.
