Subject: RE: Historic Bluegrass video on TNN
Hi there Cat Yes, my son phoned and told me to see the show. Really super. tho it was a plug to buy the entire series for 70 +- dollars. What was interesting tho would be to compare the old Timey music to what blue grass in now. Went to the CT. blue grass fest a few weeks ago. and it all appears to be speed and techniqie. You get the impression that there are about 12 basic tunes and all the rest are variations on the theme. With many bands all you hear is the Mandolin kachunk kachunk. Bah Humbug OLD WAYS ARE BEST Allan :-(
