I wonder how many other people here have this syndrome: I love the music that bluegrass came out of, but as soon as I hear real bluegrass I lose interest. Come 1946 or whenever, and nothing. It is very odd. I have listened to tons of it, and except for the occasional piece (Monroe's Scotland) it just does nothing for me. It must be like the feeling some folkies have listening to electric Dylan. It just does nothing for them.
On the other hand, I am going to see Alison Kraus and Union Station and Saturday, so maybe there is hope for me.
