Great definition, Mark. It's not easy to do. It's hard to have a discussion without knowing what we are discussing.

I am wondering now about the differences between bluegrass and old-time music. Is three finger banjo playing one of the differences?

Are there other differences besides old-time being oriented towards dance music?

I guess this means the genealogy of bluegrass itself can't be traced back too far although some bluegrass music can be traced back.

Comments?
