The Birthplace of Country Music Museum (Bristol TN / VA)

My name is Charlie B. Dahan and I am a PhD student in Public History at Middle Tennessee State University.  I am also a professor in the Recording Industry department at Middle Tennessee and a twenty-year veteran of the music business.

Welcome to my digital portfolio.  My residency at the Center for Historic Preservation (2017-2018), my dissertation, and some of my coursework involves the preservation and interpretation of sites of recorded music history.

Below is a map of the sites in Middle America I plan to examine in my dissertation.
