Zack my man, I just can't pass on this one!
" bluegrass doesn't have all that much going for it. i mean, after all, all the songs sound exactly the same, just with some variation in tempo"

Now take out the word "bluegrass" and insert "Jazz", and what would be your impression of the speaker? perhaps CLUELESS?????

Trust me here, there is much more to bluegrass than speed. I will admit that it is an aquired taste but,like sushi, well worth the effort. I am not putting you down. There was a time in my not-so-distant-rock-n-roll past when I might have sneered at these hicks singing through their nose--------but let me tell you, there is substance here, a beauty and a soul that grows stronger with time. This is as far away from electronic arranger keyboard as you can get,and sometimes I need it like a drink of pure mountain springwater!
