"At the risk of offending bluegrass fans, bluegrass is one of the styles of music where I think that I've heard it all before, I can always guess what the next chord is going to be."

That's the point. I can't get excited about listening to pure, classic bluegrass for very long (although the Seldom Scene an' 'em are a different story) But because it's so predictable, you can get into a jam with people you never played with before, and make at least tolerable music immediately. You don't even have to be drunk to participate, like in an Irish session... (grinning evilly as he ducks for cover)...
