Well, have a good weekend then, Ron:

Not to excessively oversimplify bluegrass harmony, but it seems like it could all be entered in to a computer. It's one of the reasons that I don't personally enjoy most bluegrass. (There are some exceptions, like our own Barbara and Frank Shaw's group, Shoregrass... they are probably more to my taste because they don't seem programmed.) Coming to harmony through folok music probably makes me more amenable to looser harmonies. Some of the stuff I really love in traditional folk allows for a lot of freedom, including individual harmonies to change at times, even within the same song. Some folks find security and pleasure in tightly worked out, close harmonies. Just call me too-loose Latrec.
