I would suggest contacting the Library of Virginia if you haven't
already--they did a wonderful exhibit on Virginia Roots Music a couple years
ago and should have posters and other things you might be able to use.  The
person to contact is Gregg Kimball, 804-692-3722, or [log in to unmask]

Good luck!
