The author is a longtime professional journalist based in the New York-Metro area. He believes that the Carter Family is the root of everything good about American popular music, and named this blog in the Carters’ honor. Over time, you’ll likely see posts about things that are near and dear to the author’s heart — mostly related to music, but quite possibly also about theater, food, architecture and Rockland County, N.Y.
