Appalachian Characters

Anyone from East Tennessee has heard of the legendary politician, entertainer, and general curmudgeon Cas Walker. His career as a local politician made waves in the Knoxville political spectrum of the mid 20th century, and his famous radio and television show helped propel to stardom many household names, including Dolly Parton.

On October 27 at 6:00 and 8:15 PM a tribute to Cas will be held at the East Tennessee History Center, including bluegrass music and presentations by local film historians. Should be an interesting event...
