“American roots music refers to a wide range of musical genres that are closely associated with ordinary people's lives…The roots tradition, like a thick-trunked tree, has many gnarled branches that dip and curl through cultural history and burgeoning genres.”
 - From 
“What is Roots Music?"
“So, when we look at folk music in history, it's always had a function…folk music is made by people to say something about the human condition.”
 - 
Rhiannon Giddens

Historic buildings

糊涂虫儿

As an ordinary tourist, I thought the procedure to enter the Capitol Building was very complicated, but I didn&#39;t expect that I could enter and visit just by checking the bags I brought with me.
This building was built in 1885 and covers an area of ​​51 acres. It was designed by architect Elijah E Myer in imitation of the Capitol Building in Washington. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 and was named a National Historic Landmark in 1986.
It is amazing that the passage of time has not affected its appearance and internal structure at all. It is as new as ever. Visitors can visit the government offices and have time to visit the exterior of the building to appreciate this century-old building from all angles.
