Thread Name: BS: Is BLUEGRASS simply an athletic event?
Subject: RE: BS: Is BLUEGRASS simply an athletic event?
Sheesh... I did not mean that EVERY player in EVERY bluegrass band acted like I described... I just mean that there is a proliferation in TODAY'S scene of young bucks who live to shred... just like I'd rather hear Rev. Gary Davis than Eddie VanShredHead, I'd also like to remind the world what our dear departed folkie brother Mr. Monroe said:

"Learn the music right; get the timing of it. You don't want it so fast that there's nothing left but just the speeding of the music, but learn your timing and practice so's you get it sounding just right."
