Radiant2007 :-):  You did great work, Josetta.  We all enjoyed it.

Tonight is Bluegrass night.  The theme on theme nights will be announced at the first of the bulletin board above, so you won't be lost.

TexasToest:
Johnny Cash & John Hartford: Bluegrass Medley

Nirvana: Why is this type of music called "Bluegrass"??

Jim Dandy:  Your knowledge of music just amazes me sometimes, and you just topped yourself.  That's some GREAT stuff there.  Thanks for posting it.

Radiant2007 :-):  Oh, this is going to be exciting.  Our little friend from the Netherlands is going to be in culture shock tonight.  Hahaha!

Bluegrass is American music and it is a melting pot, just as this country is.  You can read a more indepth history of the genre in Wikipedia.   You will find that Bluegrass has some Scottish and Irish sounds, as well as other countries.  This was one point I wanted to make tonight.  Bluegrass is not about ignorance, and hillbillies, it is a celebration of the melding of many cultures.  Thank you for asking the question.

TexasToest: I think cajun fits in there somewhere,maybe along the lines of blues relationship to r n r

Jim Dandy:  I agree with you on that.  Maybe we should dive for some to see if it fits.  But, my suspicion that Bluegrass has at least been born out in Wikipedia.  Since I believe it in my heart, Wikipedia must be right.  RIGHT?  Hahaha! 

TexasToest: I'm a big fan of Zydeco,if you can find anything by a band called Lucky 7,you'll be my hero

Jim Dandy:  Surely you've looked.

TexasToest: Not for a long time,but being BLUEGRASS NIGHT,they came to mind

Radiant2007 :-): Wikipedia explains Bluegrass music far better than I can.
