Ahhhh.... memories + inspiration is a wonderful rush, isn't it!?

i'm fairly new to bluegrass, so i don't go as far back as you do with it. But i can relate to your energy! (i can feel it coming through the computer screen) i'm going to have to show your post to my close friends who got ME enjoying bluegrass a few years ago. i play hammer'dulcimer (traditional celtic), so it wasn't far to leap... inevitable, i guess. i fell in love with Yonder Mtn String Band when they were opening for the String Cheese Incident about 4 years ago, then went to Oregon's JamGrass festival, then the NW String Summit, and now i wouldn't miss one for the world.

My 2 friends who play in the Symphony Orchestra are fond of daring anyone to listen and not smile...
Last year i found out that Heaven is 7 fiddles onstage played by 7 master fiddlers next to the lake as the sun sets... oh! and the mandolins! *sigh*
i still remember asking, "Bluegrass? Isn't that Hillbillys on an old washtub music?" *LOL* -->GASP was i wrong!

The String Summit i'm going to in June
will include Del McCoury Band & a bunch of others... what we've learned from past experience is that you never know who ELSE will show up, the past events have been just unbelievably awesome with bluegrass great & famous who "just show up" for the sheer delight of it and jam with the various bands...

Here's the website if you're curious:

The JamGrass Festival travels across the US... have you been to one?

Still a 'newbie' ~sortof~ ;)
