@unclebob16028 Go to IBMA’s website. The DVD can be ordered through them. It’s how I got mine – and it’s a bargain too!

I like traditional …
I like traditional bluegrass, but the new styles are very interesting too. The world is made up of different people and so goes the styles of music. Bluegrass is no different.

I agree. Shouldn’t …
I agree. Shouldn’t get hung-up on terminology and taxonomies. If it sounds good, that’s all that counts. Classical (orchestral, symphonic, baroque) music has many styles. So do pop-rock and jazz. The lines are blurred and many genres overlap. It’s what keeps things lively and interesting in music. I’m not a musician or a musicologist, but I know what I like. And I like bluegrass, trad or prog. Especially AKUS and SH+Hwy111.

Rock & Roll started …
Rock & Roll started our as a pretty difinable sound and style, ansd now crosses many imagined boundries, and incorporates many diverse influences…yet it’s still called Rock.
I don’t care what anyone calls this or that music…too hung up on pdgeonholing…if it’s good, it’s good.

don’t pollute the …
don’t pollute the dynamics of an established, traditional style of music and try to call it by the same name. name your own style, start your own tradition and move on!

Just as long …
Just as long Traditional Bluegrass remains, I’m happy. I do agree that different ideas need to be tried, but I just don’t think that most of these modern directions are true to the roots of Bluegrass. It’s great for a musical genre to grow in different directions, but Flat & Scruggs, Bill Monroe and his group, the Stoneman family, plus many others are really the peak of their style, so I really wouldn’t say it’s “maturing” which would imply it’s always getting better. Though, some may believe it

Any genre of music …
Any genre of music needs to expand to keep from getting stuck in a rut. It’s the same with rock, jazz, classical… they all evolved. The Bluegrass category began as a fusion of mountain folk and acoustic country with gospel and Delta blues mixed in. Now there’s “Newgrass”, prgressive & alt-bluegrass, etc. There’ll always be Traditional Bluegrass as Bill M defined it – the other types just go off into new directions, as true art should. It’s what music is all about, growing & maturing.

Indeed it does …
Indeed it does depend on semantics. I haven’t heard the Alison Brown Quartet yet, though I’ll certainly look it up. It’s that not I have a problem with people playing what they want, that’s great! My problem is calling it “Bluegrass”. But people see it different ways. I see Bluegrass as that traditional music, played with the about 5 or more basic types of acoustic instruments. With such classic songs as “Cripple Creek” and “Foggy Mountain Breakdown” being the foundation I love to hear so much.

That’s a valid …
That’s a valid point. It depends on semantics – and how one defines “Bluegrass.” But the final arbiter of that term (Bill M.) is long gone, so the boundaries of the genre have been stretched. Have you heard the Alison Brown Quartet? They’re even further out on the fringe of Bluegrass than Nickel Creek.
Or Crooked Still? At Grey Fox this summer, they played at the volume of Led Zeppelin, with a cello and bouble-bass fiddle. But some consider it a branch of Bluegrass.

Nickel Creek is a …
Nickel Creek is a good example of how Bluegrass should never be. These are basically rock&roll musicians playing instruments associated with Bluegrass music. Atrocious.

I hope Bluegrass …
I hope Bluegrass doesn’t change. There’s already people out there who are taking it away from the folk music it should be, and turning it into a modernist style. That’s not Bluegrass! You can have all the instruments, but it’s not Bluegrass unless you STICK to the tradition.

Bluegrass is awesome. All the best to all those amazing Bluegrass singers.
