The three stars in the flag represent
the state's three grand
divisions; the Appalachian Mountains of
the east, the
rolling hills of the
middle, and the alluvial plain of the west. From the
soulful Blues of the Mississippi delta and
the Bluff City "Rockabilly"
beat of Memphis, the
world renown Music City sound of Nashville, to the
unforgettable Folk and Bluegrass pickin' of the Great
Smoky Mountains; each division has produced a musical style
as unique as its own geography and people who
settled it.
