Expansion potential

Archie Green, Hillbilly Music: Source & Symbol (part 2), Southern Folklife Collection, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill actually has quite a bit more material on Hopkins and his band than I've mined so far. Some of it looks very interesting; I plan to follow up if no one beats me to it, but not sure when I'll get back to this. - Jmabel | Talk 08:56, 19 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Got to it much sooner than I thought. - Jmabel | Talk 07:17, 20 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
