Subject: RE: Rick's hard'n easy Bluegrass Quiz.
BRAND NEW ONE!

#1. Alison Krauss is far from being the first female fiddle star. Name the fiddler on Hee Haw with the blue violin.

#2. Fiddlin' John Carson was accompanied by his daughter. What was her stage name? (I know it ain't bluegrass, but it's still a fair question)

#3. Josh Graves is the "Father of Bluegrass Dobro". Who taught him his unique style?

#4. Tony Rice owns a legendary guitar. Why is it legendary and what's the rather revolting characteristic it shares with Josh White's old Martin New Yorker?

#5. Left handed Bluegrassers are rare. Name the New Englander who plays geetar "upside down".

#6. What does "hot rize" (not the band of the same name) actually mean? and who advertised it?

#7. Dian James. Now there's a forgotten name. Why is she in this quiz?

#8. A West Coast Banjo Player invented a product that virtually every professional guitarist and banjoist has owned at one time. What's the product?

#9. Brother duos are easy to find. Brother trios a bit harder. Name one.

#10. Lawsuits abound in Bluegrass music. Who had to fight for authorship of "Duelling Banjos". What was the original Title?

Answers Tomorrow Morning......or tonight if I can't find anything else to do!
