Bobert,

There was no need for a revival in your part of the world, it has always been and probably always will be strong. But in other parts of the world, Southern Ontario as an example, Bluegrass has a small but devout following. The Stanleys, Monroe et al are familiar to we few Bluegrass nerds in Ontario, but we have no Bluegrass or Old Time on mainstream radio. The only time I have heard Bluegrass on the radio is on Rick's radio show, Acoustic Workshop.

I know that Bluegrass isn't for everyone, that people in your area have heard enough of it to make an educated decision, but people in this area and a lot of other parts of the world have had very little exposure to it.
