100 Greatest Men: #32. A.P. Carter
100 Greatest Men: The Complete List
His legacy has often languished in the shadows of his more accomplished female relatives, but A.P. Carter’s contributions to the development of country music remain essential.
Well… it has words that rhyme.

Call to Action: Supplies and donations needed in the Rockaways
One of our favorite people, Juli Thanki over at Engine 145, is rallying the troops to help those in need in the Rockaways, where our own Kevin Coyne lives and once taught at a school seriously impacted by the storm. He is now the principal of another school where many students and staff were impacted by the hurricane as well. We’re so grateful to her for taking this initiative, though we’re not surprised by her act of kindness.
An ambitious effort, but not quite as airtight as one would hope.
