St Augustine, Fl is considered the oldest city in America, what city is considered the newest?

I think that’s right, so I will ask a question: am rewatching Ken Burns’ Country Music documentary series and there’s a ton of great questions in it. Here’s one:
I was the first real musical star of the Grand Ole Opry, first taking the stage there just before WW2. I made it to Nashville from my home town in rural East Tennessee and even though I arrived at the height of the “yodeling cowboy” era, my focus was always the old-time fiddle tunes of the mountains. I became a successful producer and music publishers in Music City. Who am I?

No problem. You could end up being correct but that's not the answer I got when I researched it. We'll see.

while watching do they talk about the Carter Family Fold? It is the home of Maybelle and June Carter and is in Mace's Springs, VA (which is why I didn't answer based on rural East TN). I ride by bike through there all the time and they still do bluegrass every Saturday night...there is a kid on The Voice named Carson Peters (if he has not been cut) who performed there all the time as a child...it is a really cool place and the family cemetary down the street has a great deal of some of the original country music people

Next time I am out riding that way I will try to get your some pictures...the old cabin still stands to this day and the Fold has definitely improved...when I was young it was more or less a large barn with a stage and a dirt floor with old school bus bench seats lol...now it has stadium type seating and air conditioning and indoor plumbing...all the little roads around it are named for either songs from the Carter Family or from Johnny Cash...it is kind of in the middle of nowhere but as the crow flies probably about 10-12 miles straight north or Bristol, VA. The land back in there is amazing as the north fork of the Holston River created all this bottom land that was cheap back in the day and yielded small but decent farms
As an aside they are working on a rails to trails area back in there that is pretty amazing as well and may one day hook up to the Virginia Creeper Trail
