Yes, breakdowns!<br /><br />I am SO glad that CD crossed my path and led me to find the genre. I was trying to ask Matt if he could remember when that was and he thinks it was 2006. To think I had so many years before bluegrass!!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-30601455081473020162012-11-15T09:34:33.772-07:002012-11-15T09:34:33.772-07:00Really? You don't play it? Hmmmm....I wonder...Really? You don't play it? Hmmmm....I wonder how much it would cost to ship it....<br /><br />Yes! I love the spiritual nature of those gospel bluegrass tunes. Some of my peers do not care for this end of the genre, but it makes me feel all full inside. The progressive end is really wonderful too though, and I hear much more of it live than I do that traditional. I cannot help but dance! Oh joy!BLD in MThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08497511995276601468noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-16081814106861030842012-11-15T08:58:11.952-07:002012-11-15T08:58:11.952-07:00I've got a mandolin you can have if you want t...I've got a mandolin you can have if you want to learn to play it. Nuttin' fancy mind you.<br /><br />I like bluegrass too. In my world it is all intertwined with old time gospel as that is how I heard it growing up. I like the more progressive stuff too.<br />Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15032479084775154076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2536895335969103038.post-21675708304388580622012-11-15T00:20:31.115-07:002012-11-15T00:20:31.115-07:00I love bluegrass!

It was written as a march tune by Wagner early in the 20th century. Foggy Mountain Breakdown was written by Scruggs, I believe. You have chosen a great genre. Those two are my favorites.<br /><br />A friend played the five-string banjo and the fiddle. Of course, he played expertly any stringed instruments. I went to many festivals where he played. There were no drums or screaming guitars! <br /><br />I am glad you discovered this genre.Practical Parsimonyhttp://www.practical-parsimony.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
