Rubylox, I like those same 3 groups that you do. In addition, some of my favorites are the Johnson Mountain Boys, Doyle Lawson & Quicksilver, Tim & Mollie O'Brien, Third Tyme Out, Northern Lights, Amy Gallatin & Stillwater, Laurie Lewis, & Red Wine (an Italian Bluegrass Band). There is a hard core group of fans called the Grillbillies that travel by RV from one festival to another and publicize them on their websiste www.grillbilles.com I see them at many festivals here in the north. Most of them are either middle age or senior citizens, but they do fly the Confederate flag proudly. I don't think they do it out of malice. Some of them may not even be aware that it is offensive to some people. Many are not even from the south, as their vehicles bear Connecticut, Massachusetts, N.Y. & Pennsylvania tags. SOL ZELLER
