Bluegrass Breakdown: 1982, Part One

We’ll be basking in the bluegrassical glory of 1982 when, among other things: Johnny Cash Parkway opens in Hendersonville, TN; Ozzy Osbourne bites the head off a bat; 75% of North America is covered in snow; and the Allen Brothers, Jimmy Arnold, Appalachian Express, and Mike Auldridge put smiles on BluegrassLand faces.
