I tend to do the same thing Jed. On the banjo I like to mix the three finger bluegrass style with either frailing or clawhammer. In the summer time I like to set along the banks of the AuSable River and play Dueling banjos one part Old Timey and the other Bluegrass. It gets quite a reaction from some of the canoeists.

I've found that Old Timey players don't think much of Bluegrass and visa versa. Then some of the folks I play with sort of enjoy the mix. One break Old Timey and the next Bluegrass. Both styles also work good on the Guitar or Ukulele. Blues, well that's a different story.
