What’s funny is that although you’d *think* folk and bluegrass and folk are pretty durned close, in general the bluegrass folks tend to be a lot more the guns and Jesus types than the peace out types. ;-) Different crowd.
And fortunately, every single group I’ve seen at these festivals completely avoided politics, either way. It’s a relief to escape political tension for awhile. It seems to be worse than usual this election...though that may be just the change of environs. I don’t think so, though.
Yeah, the folkies are definitely more to the left than the bluegrass folks.
