2011 starts the 10th season of the MOUNTAIN MUSIC & MEDICINE SHOW--the 5th at HHT, and the 4th on GPB Radio.

The setting is Dahlonega from Gold Rush days of the early 1800s to modern times of the early 1950s---? Doc Johnson's traveling Miracle Medicine Show has come to town and set up on the Square in front of Nix's Store, the hub of local commerce and social center of the area.

Doc brings musical acts of the time with him as well as his own brand of humor while he exhorts folks to buy his "Wizard Water" elixir for improving their lives. He also showcases local talent on his show. Folks come from all around to hear the music & Doc. His fast-paced style and rapport with the crowd keeps toes a-tapping and things moving briskly along.

The scene occasionally shifts to "street scene " short skits where local people comment on the goings on of the day, mixing local history, culture and humor in the unique Southern Appalachian style of the time period.

This is all presented in a live old-time Radio broadcast; sort of like going back in time without leaving your living room!

January 8th show includes the following musical guests: MIST ON THE MOUNTAIN, FOOL'S GOLD OF DAHLONEGA, GABE RUSSO, UGLY COUSIN.
