In 1915, music in Appalachia was primarily transmitted orally, with songs and melodies passed down through generations by word of mouth. Cecil Sharp, an English folk music collector, documented these traditional tunes by recording performances from local musicians, capturing the unique regional styles. Additionally, community gatherings, such as dances and church events, served as vital venues for sharing and learning new songs. The influence of migration and cultural exchange also played a role in shaping the musical landscape of the region.
