In a letter, try to explain to your boss why it would be beneficial for the company to start investing in producing country music records.

Scenario: The year is 1921. You are a talent scout for a New York City record company, and recently returned from a trip to the south. In a letter, try to explain to your boss why it would be beneficial for the company to start investing in producing country music records. Speak to both the potential profits that could be made as well as the cultural importance of the country genre. Your boss will want to know whether you think country music will ever get a wider audience, or if it will always be a “regional” genre, so include those considerations in your letter.
