I guess someone needs to come up with a good definition of "Bluegrass". We all know that the original word came from Monroe's Blue Grass Boys but I think that the word bluegrass means more than that now.

I think it encompasses new groups like Nickle Creek and also Gid Tanner and the Skillet Lickers. I think to define it only by Bill Monroe is wrong. Is Doc Watson Bluegrass? How about Bob Dylan? How many different types of groups are at "bluegrass festivals"?

The roots of can be traced back much like folk songs.
