Bluegrass Goes to Scotland
On CMT's Total Access, they had a show where Alison Krauss and Union Station were doing a tour of the British Isles. When they are in Edinburgh, you see a couple of kilts on men standing outside the castle and such. The bass player tried on some kilts in a shop and bought himself a souvenier kilt. He bought a camo kilt (which he didn't know existed) and said he's going to try to be man enough to wear it duck hunting.

I knew I loved Alison Krauss and Union Station for a reason! It's because they're so cool!
I just can't stand to watch CMT, because they have commercials every two songs. It's not even worth it to sit there for six minutes of music, and then three minutes of adverts.

A Bluegrass musician myself (I play banjo every friday night at Arrow Horse Bluegrass, Gettysburg, PA) it's good to hear other bluegrass musicians trying the kilt!

I'll have to come up and check that out some Friday. After the holidays though, I'm busy for a while. I like listening to Bluegrass.

I'm not a fan of bluegrass at all. However, being a musician, I appreciate the music, and what it has done for other genres. I'm like that with just about any genre I don't like [rap being the exception, but that's another story].
That being said, I have to appreciate it even more, since I live about 30 minutes or so from the birthplace of Bill Monroe, the man credited with inventing bluegrass.

I like playing along to bluegrass on my guitar, but I'm not even close to being able to solo. My fingers aren't that fast.
There's a club in Cambridge that has a bluegrass show every week, that I try to check out when I can.

Man, what don't you do? You play the pipes you go to school you find guys wearing kilts in WalMart, you fight crime and then you find time to play bluegrass. I'm tired just thinking about it.
Cheers,
Jim
