Bobert: I saw a Japanese Blue Grass group at the Shamrock back in the early 70's. They didn't speak English but had learned all their songs by listening to LP's. And they were very good too! I remember, particularly, "Blue Moon of Kentucky," and they sounded great. I learned later they didn't understand a thing they were singing though.

Wasn't Ricky Skaggs a member of the "Country Gentlemen" at one time. I'm pretty sure I saw him there one time too.
