Ya'll be carefull you'll go to hell!!
I am a welding Instructor at a SOUTH east Tennessee Technology High School and a TRADITIONAL BULEGRASS picker for 28 years. " I am 50 years old" In the early years I wanted to be like Sam Bush, but the more I learned about the music the more I went back to the roots. "Flat & Scruggs cranks my handle"!!! Know what I mean. I have played the same school houses the boys have played in the 50's. I learned guitar at the age of 10, played rock& roll till I got turned on to real music in the late 70's. Payed my dues and played all over Gods country "The South". We could have crossed strings somewere. Anyway, this 15 year old kid comes into my class and said: Hey Dude I've got this bulegrass Tribute to Ossie Osborne! I said: Watch out boy you'll go to hell!!! You can't use Bluegrass and Ozzie in the same sentence! There is no "F"in bluegrass!!! He said: Dude stick it in the puter and listen.. I said: NO I don't want to go to HELL!!!
You guys are ture pickers. It was great!!! I can understand the words!! I could not understand OZZie, no southren drawl. I played some of your samples on the web site, Led Zepplin in 3/4 time, man this is way cool. Keep it up. Educate the rest of the world. Play it with the soul of the roots. Ya'll are my new hero's, no you won't go to hell!!
See ya, Dave
