Does anyone else listen to bluegrass? I listen to WMC79.com online. They mainly play older country but they have a bluegrass hour.
 
sorry, no. but i was born in kentucky so that should count for something lol.
 
I listen to some. Mostly the newer stuff: Nickel Creek, Allison Kruass, that kind of stuff. There is a radio show on here Saturday night that has a bluegrass hour with older stuff and I catch that whenever I can. I'm not that up on the name of songs, or who sings them, but it sure is fun to listen too!

I also listen to my dad play, he plays with a local bluegrass band on weekends in the summer.
 
I love Bluegrass!

I've seen quite a bit live; David Grisman (my wife hugged him!), Del McCoury, Yonder Mountain String Band, Sam Bush, and a few others.

Some of my favorites are The Red Clay Ramblers, The Seldom Scene, and Old & In the Way.
 
I was born about 40 miles from the birthplace of Bluegrass music! Bill Monroe is an all time favorite of mine. I am not sure I like modern bluegrass as much as the old stuff. Ever hear Johnny Cash do Paradise (originally by Bill Monroe)? It is an awesome version that song always gets to me because I am from just outside the area that is mentioned.
 
I love it, but I really dont know enough about it. I have all the music channel things on cable and find my self randomly listening to the bluegrass channel. I do live in KY too. I dont care if you like it or not but the bluegrass greats are some AMAZING musicians!

Scott, did you talk to Eddie?
 
anyone that likes bluegrass needs to listen to Hayseed Dixie. Even if you don't like it just listen to em.
 
Im not really big into it as far as learning all the bands and buying all their CDs. I really like the old Outlaw Country like waylon, the hag, hank I, II &III and so on but i do have a box set of allison krause and union station.
