A Tribute to the Iconic Mother Maybelle Carter and the Carter Family

Time for a trip down memory lane, celebrating the life and music of Mother Maybelle Carter and her talented daughters, June, Helen, and Anita.

📻 A Radio Remembrance 📻
My own introduction to this iconic family comes courtesy of my dad. Post-WW2, he led a country band called the "Santa Fe Trailblazers" and hosted daily radio shows on WDAD in Indiana, PA, and WARD in Johnstown, PA. The highlight? Sharing the stage with Mother Maybelle and her girls. Sadly, our autographed photo has vanished with time, but the memories are indelible.
