GUEST,Southside Mandolin Style in Alt-Country Songs (16) RE: Mandolin Style in Alt-Country Songs 12 Oct 03

I am a guitarist and I have been fooling around with the mandolin. I like it a lot. It is helping me hear better. I have been listening to lot's of Grisman, Sam Bush, Bill Monroe. They are all very different and they all sound great. Shouldn't it just be about feel? After all, didn't Bill Monroe introduce a totally different style of music to the world?

On another note, where could I find names of players and possibly recordings of the blues style of mandolin from the early 20th century that dropped out of vogue? Any info greatly appreciated.
