Rockalachia: Rock ‘n’ roll and bluegrass music from the Appalachian Mountains have had a big influence in my musical life. I wrote “Rockalachia” reminiscing the boogie woogie style of bluegrass played on mandolin in the 1940’s, by the father of bluegrass, Bill Monroe. He was later inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame for having a profound early influence in the later development of rock ‘n’ roll.
