| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Family |
| | Through the sacrament of matrimony husband and wife obtain an increase of sanctifying grace, and a claim upon those actual graces which are necessary to the proper fulfilment of all the duties of family life, and the relations between husband and wife, parents and children, are supernaturalized and sanctified. | | | The family is holy inasmuch as it is to co-operate with God by procreating children who are destined to be the adopted children of God, and by instructing them for His kingdom. | | | Being the provider of the family, and the superior of the wife both in physical strength and in those mental and moral qualities which are appropriate to the exercise of authority, the husband is naturally the family's head, even "the head of the wife", in the language of St. Paul. |

| | The large number of tunes in a typical folk music repertory is the basis for various systems of tune classification. | | | The number of tune families in a given body of folk music ranges widely. | | | The similarities may be the result of the tunes migrating from region to region, or they may occur simply because musicians composing folk music are bound to produce similar tunes sometimes. |

| | When the Carter Family made their first country music recordings for Victor Records, in 1927, they created a musical style that persists to this day. | | | The Carter Family was not the first country music group and certainly not the first to make records. | | | But the Carter Family, according to some scholars, heralded the beginning of modern country music-- a major break from the string bands that had recorded up to that time. |

| | The Carter Family also fit Peer's marketing strategy; Peer was capitalizing on the demand for "old-fashioned" or "hillbilly" music and was looking for artists that knew traditional songs that had not been copyrighted or who could write original songs that sounded old-fashioned. | | | Perhaps the Carter Family's greatest contribution to country music is the vast number of traditional songs that A.P. preserved and copyrighted over the years. | | | The Carter Family had been performing together for ten years near their hometown when Ralph Peer came to Bristol, TN in 1927 to audition "hillbilly" talent for RCA Victor. |

| | The Carter Family from the Blue Ridge Mountains were the first family of country music, and aspects of their sound are still audible in bluegrass hillbillies and countrypolitan charttoppers a full 70 years after the original Carters made their first recordings. | | | Rather, the family's voluminous popular recordings for Victor -- now being methodically reissued by Boston-based Rounder Records -- are the very fabric of country music history. | | | Between 250 and 300 recordings, including such popular songs as "Keep on the Sunny Side" and an early recorded rendition of the standard "Will the Circle Be Unbroken," vaulted the trio to the status of country-music legends. |
