Thread Name: where are the youngsters??
Subject: RE: where are the youngsters??
I absolutely love spreading trad music among my relative's and friend's children. I recently took up the task of "educating" those of teenage years regarding Bluegrass music. Some may know of my addiction to The Cleverlys. Addiction/obsession/adoration all fit. Not the genre I cotton to by nature but these guys are amazing on all levels and their music is exactly what I allude to in my previous post because they "advance" the music by combining genres. And, they do it is a very musically competant and humouros way. I have one buddy's lass of 14 who has all of her friends KEEN on Bluegrass! And it was all because I posted something silly on Facebook saying that I was all up on what the kids are listening to these days on her mother's Facebook page. Here it is... please don't get yer collective asses up in the air... this actually broadened their music experience because they LIKED it and watched the OTHER videos... real Bluegrass, baby!
