Author Talk: Charlie Dahan, "Don't Lose Your Good Thing: Rescuing America's Music Landmarks"

Thursday, November 19, 2026, 6 – 7pm

Charlie Dahan's new book, Don't Lose Your Good Thing: Rescuing America's Music Landmarks, explores how the places that shaped American popular music are essential to understanding the nation's broader history. From the Gennett and King Records buildings in the Midwest to Stax and Capricorn Studios and the Birthplace of Country Music Museum in the South, Charlie B. Dahan examines how these sites of musical innovation have been preserved, neglected, or reborn.

Drawing on years of archival research, fieldwork, and interviews, the book combines public history and music industry insight to reveal how the struggle to save these landmarks reflects larger stories of creativity, race, labor, and community in America. It shows why the spaces where music was made remain vital to preserving our shared cultural memory.

Charlie B. Dahan is Professor in the Department of Recording Industry at Middle Tennessee State University. A former A&R Director at Shanachie Records and booking agent, he is the coauthor, with Linda Gennett Irmscher, of Images of America: Gennett Records and Starr Piano and compiler of the Gennett Records Discography.
