RE: "you don't hear Bluegrass on the radio"

Well, that probably brings up a conversation parallel to "what is Folk Music?"

I've heard artists like Allison Krause (sp?)/Union Station described as Bluegrass. And they get a fair amount of airplay. Is it "Real Bluegrass" music? Maybe not. Seems I've seen a discussion like this elsewhere on Mudcat. But if Joe Consumer heres something he likes, and the DJ says "that's Bluegrass-style", then Joe Consumer might go to a Bluegrass concert.

Not sayin' it's right, just sayin' what The Music Industry is tryin' to shove down our throats.
