The Heartland Series has been a staple of East Tennessee for the past 25 years. Rich stories of mountain folk, country tales, music, crafts, cooking, holistic healing, river and lake life and the fine art of storytelling. The drive behind The Heartland Series is Mr. Bill Landry. He is retiring this year. Rather than replacing him (and giving someone the opportunity to be mentored by Mr. Landry) the powers that be have decided to simply end this iconic preservation of times gone by.
Joni Mitchell once sang (and Counting Crows revived it for a new generation) we "paved paradise to put up a parking lot". The Heartland Series found the areas not yet paved; sadly, this era is being concreted as I type.
