Roni Stoneman was the youngest daughter of the pioneering country
music family and a woman who overcame poverty and abusive husbands
to claim the title of "The First Lady of Banjo," a fixture on the
Nashville scene, and, as Hee Haw's Ironing Board Lady, a comedienne
beloved by millions. Drawn from more than seventy-five hours of
recorded interviews, Pressing On reveals Roni's gifts as a master
storyteller. With characteristic spunk and candor, she describes
her "pooristic" ("way beyond 'poverty-stricken'") Appalachian
childhood, and how her brother Scott taught her to play the
challenging and innovative three-finger banjo picking style
developed by Earl Scruggs. She also warmly recounts Hee Haw-era
adventures with Minnie Pearl, Roy Clark, and Buck Owens; her
encounters as a musician with country greats like Loretta Lynn,
Johnny Cash, June Carter, and Patsy Cline; as well as her personal
struggles with shiftless and violent husbands, her relationships
with her children, and her musical life after Hee Haw.
