*** Until recently I was under the mistaken impression that bluegrass was a generic form of music. I did not realize that the name was taken from the incredibly original form of the music by Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys. It is a musical form only about 10 years older than rock and roll. It is "fusion" between blues and hoedown dance music. Bill Monroe is still alive and playing and I would go almost anywhere to see him. When Merle Travis died last year it was a painful reminder that I should see these great genuises while I still can. Does anyone know where Monroe might play? I gather he is still active. I have religiously checked all the shows in the SF bay area and in Nevada for any show by Chet Atkins. I know a half dozen people here in Santa Cruz that would go anywhere in the country to see him play. -- scc!steiny Don Steiny - Personetics @ (408) 425-0382 109 Torrey Pine Terr.
