[edit] Influence on American music
First of all this is a fantastic article. Very informative and easy to follow. I've been a fan of some of the music about the L&N which brought me to the article. Some people may not know that the L&N has been the subject of numerous American songwriters and performers for decades and several of the songs provide a a glimpse into American history and the L&N's influence on people who were touched by it in some way. Here's a sample of some songs:
- The L&N Don’t Stop Here Anymore - June Carter Cash
- The L&N Don’t Stop Here Anymore - Johnny Cash
- The L&N Blues - Clara Smith
- The L&N Boogie - Jean-Paul Amouroux
- L&N Blues - Memphis Willie B
- L&N Rag - Adam Hurt
Stories about the L&N can be found in blues, folk and country music. June Carter gets my vote. Anyhow, I think this material is well worth adding to the article. I'll try and dig up more and get better details, I'll let you guys who have been working this article figure out how best to add it. Ideas? Mr Christopher 04:15, 28 February 2007 (UTC)
