Holder of a juris doctor and a member of the New York State Bar Association, Rebecca Gaskin Gain advises clients in the international arena. Through her travels, she has been exposed to little-known styles of regional music, from performances by the Congolese Symphony Orchestra to nomadic blues from the Afar territories in the Horn of African. Rebecca Gaskin Gain has also developed an intimate familiarity with traditional bluegrass music from the Appalachian Mountains.
The origins of bluegrass music go back to North America in the 1600s, when immigrants from Ireland, England, and Scotland greatly influenced musical tastes in regions that eventually became the states of West Virginia, Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, and North and South Carolina.
The songs often told of rural living, from laboring on a farm to exploring the Appalachian wilderness. For a while, it was called "mountain music," reflecting these roots. But eventually, especially with the advent of the phonograph and other technologies, this rural music found its way to American cities. Today, bluegrass music is enjoyed by music lovers around the globe.
