I was just trying to stir a little interest in Bluegrass in the LM area. If we could get it started here and show a small serious committment then we might get a tradition like the jazz festival going. I sure like that music more than jazz which I can only take in small doses.

Country music has degerated into "cookie cutter " production music that sounds just like old rock & roll with a twang. Rascal Flatts is a perfect example of that garbage. Same old sound, chords everytime. The so-called southern country-rock has been dead since the death of Duane Allman.

Bluegrass has melowed a little from the Telluride influences and artists like Allison Krauss. It has the only creative thing going for it in all the genres of music that I see (unless you like rap). It has become the new country music by default. The interesting thing is that Bluegrass had Irish roots.

Rock & Roll is nowhere. I thought Maroon 5 was a great new example of creative rock but they made one album and went back to sleep.

Let's do Bluegrass! We might like it
