June was declared to be Black Music Month by Pres. Carter back in the 70's.  Pres. Obama updated it to African-American Music Month.  By any name the Lost Music Saloon will pay heed today with two hours of Ebony Twang – – that is, country & folk music done by black/African-American artists and bands.  There's a lot more of that music out there than you may believe, so kick back and ENJOY!
