I totally dig the bluegrass music. My Pop-pop plays guitar and banjo and when I was little he was in a country gospel band. I grew up on bluegrass, classic country, and gospel music. I guess that's why I'm learning to fiddle.

I'm glad you got a fond memory of your grandpappy. :-)

It is a fabulous piece of music. So, are you familiar with Nickel Creek?

It's sounds familiar, but I'm not placing it.
