GUEST,The Burren Ranger(Ireland) Celtic Roots of Bluegrass sought (33) RE: Celtic Roots of Bluegrass sought 18 Jun 00

Riggy, The roots of Bluegrass can indeed be found in the songs and fiddle tunes which migrated to the New Worldin the 18th and 19th cent. from Scotland and Ireland.For example, Bill Monroe's (father of Bluegrass) ancestors were Scots/Irish and their tunes were the backbone of his earlystyle. A good place to start might be Tim O'Brien's superb album 'The Journey' (Alula Recs)...which connets the two traditions. TBR.
