Sheeit, I LOVE this thread. I have ONE and ONLY one regret about basing myself primarily in Canada over the last 30 years. NO good bluegrass band to play with. (oh, and scratch out a living)

Don't get me wrong, I love folk music in general, (and early jazz & blues etc.) and I'm bloody thankful that I make a living from it....but, oh what I would have given to be a Bluegrass Boy for even a month. Bill would have eventually fired me for being too "liberal", but I'd have kept my yap shut for a while.
