Kendall, you did a fine job, and you to Mark--It is next to impossible to describe how to play things on the guitar in words, and you both did--at least I think you did--I knew what you were talking about, but I guess the proof in the pudding would be if grubby did--

I wish I had your quote to throw around in my one and only foray into performing bluegrass music--we were playing for cloggers, and the banjo player(who was not a real bluegrass banjo player) demanded that I play this real chunky backbeat part--it was impossible to play it as fast as the dancers needed--the reason that the banjo player wanted it in the first place was that he kept dropping the beat--

We had one real bluegrass fiddler, and he and the the banjo player were always in two different places--the worst thing was that the bass player would drop beats in order to follow the banjo, very bad, because the dancers always follow the bass--

Bluegrass music is really simple, at least until you try to play it--
