I’ve heard the first bar and already I’m pleased. This music will never die.

You share a famous name in bluegrass.

@@carlmally6292 Kenny Baker the fiddle player. I play the dobro and my brother (another Baker) plays mandolin we could all get together and have a ready made name The Baker Boys LOL

It was an honor for sure!

Back in the late 1960s and into the 70s American TV audiences were particluarily vulnerable to influsnce of all types. Enter Buck Owens and Porter Wagoner ans several others who ALL sported abundantly bejeweled suits and such in order to capture the camera 's eye with all that glitter. It worked and it stuck.

speak for yourself, bluegrass descends from the old time mountain music which descends from the Scottish and Irish fiddle tunes that were taken over with the first settlers, people even play some old Scottish and Irish tunes as "bluegrass" tunes, there's a fairly decent bluegrass scene in the UK.

As pointed out in Moffat's post, the British bluegrass scene is well established in the UK, and has been for many years. The Orange Blossom Sound were one of the top bands in the 1960s - here they are: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdmjnN2lmNWol2w.html Here are the Echo Mountain Band on a1970s recording, with a song they wrote themselves: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mNV7dKibnq7WfHk.html I recall reading about a German group in the American 'Bluegrass Unlimited' magazine in I think the late 1960s, and I believe there are some excellent French musicians as well. I'm English, and fell in love with bluegrass music in my teenage years. However, I think you're probably right. I would imagine most European people only have a superficial acquaintance with bluegrass at best.

DK, but I like his playin'. Only saw Peter Rowan once, fronting a band called "SeaTrain" in the early '70's. Richard Greene on fiddle. Superb.

that’s me!

@@WyattEllis Nice job Wyatt!

That will be Wyatt. Good job young man!

Who is they I'm sure peter knows how to tune his own guitar.

My personal opinion - would have been better without the rest of them.

So, get some help.

Listen to the music, ignore the wrapping paper

Ms. Tuttle's outfit is certainly sparkly, although I think it's quite stylish. Everyone else is wearing a suit, which as a European I would call business-like, rather than garish.

They are wearing their Sunday best and looking fancy for company.

There is a tradition of wearing flashy formal wear in the Country Music World, and bluegrass has a tendency to be country music's cooler and more down to earth cousin.
