Hello, my name is reece peck. I'm fourth year grad student at the department of communication at UCSD. My research looks at the relationship between conservative populism and country music. I'm especially interested in American conceptions of class. I'm actually writing a paper on Wallace, Nixon, and Country Music. You're paper looks really good. If it's published, where could I find it. Have you read J. Lester Feder's Song of the South?
have a good one and keep up the good work
Thanks for your interest. I'll let it be known here as and when the article sees the light of day (though I can send you a preview if you mail me your e-mail address). I haven't read Feder's Song of the South, but I'll have a look for it now. I did come across a good piece he did for npr (http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=7484160&ft=1&f=1012) and for American Prospect (http://www.prospect.org/cs/articles?articleId=12473). Good luck with your work.
