To paraphrase Michelle Shocked from a recent World Cafe interview, bluegrass "swings a wide sword." Among my many faves, the range stretches from Laurie Lewis to Railroad Earth to Rhonda Vincent to Nickel Creek to Alison Krauss to Old and in the Way/Gray to Jerry Garcia to Del McCoury to Robin and Linda Williams to .... you get the idea.

Okay, so I just picked up "Five Stories" by Kris Delmhorst, and Ron, you definitely did not steer me astray. Great stuff. I haven't had a chance to fully digest the album yet, but I very much like what I've heard, especially "Broken White Line" (does that mean I have a heart? Whew!) and "Yellow Brick Road." - --Chris ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 11:31:10 EDT From: Rongrittz@aol.com Subject: [RS] Re: bluegrass >> None of the "official" definitions -- acoustic, folk-based, mountain music, "old-timey" music, yadda-yadda-yadda -- fully describe bluegrass, in my mind.

RG <<< Blue Highway as well as Robin & Linda will be playing at the little known but very respected Sisters Folk Festival in Sisters, Oregon this coming weekend. Everyone's favorite little one who roars, Tracy Grammer, along with Eliza Gilkyson & Christine Kane will be doing a "Women of Folk" concert Friday night on the main stage. So if there are any fans of the above or otherwise -- come on up, down, east or west . . . but it always sells out, so don't sit and think on it too long. I was born on Labor Day (no, not this date in that year) not sure if my mother ever found that something to celebrate though ;~) Pam ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 1 Sep 2003 11:53:27 -0700 (PDT) From: Janet Cinelli Subject: Re: [RS] Re: bluegrass Happy Birthday Pam! My daughter was born 23 years ago, on Labor Day too! The doctor laughed at me, saying, "Your in labor and it's Labor Day1!" Nice guy, NOT!! Enjoy your day!
