i have always respected bluegrass music because of the talent it takes to play any bluegrass song. The instruments, whether mandolin, banjo, guitar, steel top, violin, bass, cello...any of them...takes great knowledge to play well in bluegrass. And not to mention usually the vocals, especially the harmonies, are ridiculous. Not always 3rds and 5ths but definitely beautiful, any vocal line in a bluegrass song just sounds lovely. So while I've always respected it, I've begun to appreciate it much more. I went to the Tucson Botanical Garden's Bluegrass Night last week. They had a live band...so great! And I just listened to NPR's recorded concert of Nickel Creek. Yes please!!! So here's the myspace for Chris Thile's (mandolinist for Nickel Creek) new band.
