I enjoy Old Crow Medicine Show and Doc Watson.
Need myself a banjolele.

Even though he's country and not bluegrass, I feel I should point out that Wayne Hancock is fucking awesome.

And as to the OP, listening is a skill so many lack. Like the people to whom I must explain, and don't understand that Taylor Swift is not country...what are these people doing when that music reaches their brain?

MP3's lose much of the sound in favor of ease of portability. Which is nice, I like portability. But I like being able to listen to what a person created with their hands and soul (YEAH SOUL) more.

They are tennie boppers. Sadly they drive the market.

Google Foggy Mountain Breakdown, and turn the volume up.  :)

Damn I love bluegrass. And as much as I hate the south, at least they appreciate good music down here. Blugrass radio = win.

Hell yes. Terri and I used to play it on the radio every Sunday when I owned Running Creek Grill. We were always packed for breakfast, and we found out half came to hear the radio.

Yeah I do not enjoy listening to that one. Though it's a good song.

The youtube clip I found for that one had scrolling text offering RFD-TV denim caps to support "rural programming" which made me chuckle- reminds me of when I would go into record stores and see the rap, hip hop and the like lumped under "Urban." Made me think of Dolly Parton briefly as Gangsta Rap for country folk.

Boston Bluegrass Union came up pretty quick. Looks like I missed the most recent festival, but they have an events calendar.

Good stuff!
Most of my exposure to mando has been through Zeppelin, The Tea Party (band), Irish folk music, and one Bruce Dickinson song, funny enough.

The mando still exists in later versions but is put through some pitch shifting and speed ups, which make it sound like some sort of synth thing.

That wasn't bad at all.

The freaking banjo and all of it just has that sound that makes your body want to move. I just love it.

Ah-thanks for this thread Charley Brown!
It has set the mood for my day today.
