Thread Name: Why Bluegrass musicians don't like folk
Subject: RE: Why Bluegrass musicians don't like folk
As someone who loves both styles it's a shame that more fans don't cross over. The two styles have cross pollinated so often. I'm sure many folk fans look at bluegrass like they look at stock car racing. A lot of people going very fast in circles going nowhere. Some of the rules of bluegrass can be rigid but then again haiku is a ridig form also. It's how much freedom you find within those confines that interesting.
