on a commune. One of the guys there used to work for Martin guitars and he built instruments. I have an original Gibson 5 string banjo that I love to play!! Ever hear of the Newgrass Revival or the cool cave in TN (Bluegrass Underground on PBS) that hosts concerts? Check this out!

The New Grass Revival has been called “the premier progressive-bluegrass band.” The group’s members play traditional bluegrass instruments—guitar, fiddle, mandolin, banjo, and bass—and their vocal harmonies reflect a bluegrass pattern. What distinguishes this band, however, is its incorporation of rock, jazz, reggae, and even rhythm & blues influences for a strikingly modern sound. Some listeners even hesitate to call this work “bluegrass,” so far does it depart from the classic bluegrass approach.
