Bluegrass is like the enemy for us blues players... No, it shouldn't be that way but it is... Okay, I am biased because of being a blues player in bluegrass land... Seems that the bluegrassers are rude... And loud...

I've been to many events where I will take a few of the youngins aside and start showing them about how to play the blues and we get going and then the bluegrassers converge with their load banjo and their hyper-rhythms that gotta be played at 100 miles an hour and so much for that workshop...

I can't believe I used to play that stuff??? But I did but I was never rude... Today's bluegrassers??? Most of them are rude and noisy and boorish...

Sorry... I know that is gonna get a lot of push back from 'um... Tough!!!
