Perched on the banks of the Cumberland River, Nashville is best known for its role in the civil rights movement, world-class education and, of course, country music. In this unique collection of columns, longtime journalist and Tennessee native George Zepp illuminates a less familiar side of the city. Learn the secrets of Timothy Demonbreun, one of the city s first residents who lived with his family in a cliff-top cave; Cortelia Clark, the blind bluesman who continued to perform on street corners after winning a Grammy award; and Nashville s own Cinderella story, which involved legendary radio personality Edgar Bergen and his ventriloquist protege. Cleverly rendered, using questions from readers across the nation, these little-known tales abound with Music City mystery and charm."
