Guest who signed himself Peter:

Are you a member of bgrass-l?

Do you play the bass?

Have you often stated that same opinion on bgrass-l over the last several years?

Is your next question going to be, "What is bluegrass, anyway?"

Nahh, I ain't Bangs. Jammed with him once or twice, when my little girl was in Salt Lake doing her residency. I like to quote Tabscott's Criterion whenever a discussion like this starts, simply because it's so beautifully doctrinaire (did I spell that right?)

I dropped off Bgrass-l some years ago, got sick of the bickering. I still wear my AAFOUF hat with pride, though. I have a Mudcat patch sewed on it now. It's been on three cross-country trips so far.
