Hey Rick:

These guys were DEAD serious! If you just say the (four letter) word "Folk" to them, all the blood drains from their faces; whereas I realized very early on that a good deal of the music they claim as bluegrass is really grassed up folk, old time, and traditional music.

In fact, last week at "band practice" I had to stop and try to teach them the difference between 3/4 and 4/4 time. (Which they play but do not acknowledge).

Now I've found two separate sources which attribute "Man Of Constant Sorrow" to someone named LaRue. I'm pretty darn sure he wasn't a bluegrass player!!!!! (joke).

Thanks again to all who responded.
