Ya know..Im not sure what part of a song like that is better :) the playin, the vocalisin or the spirit.
Mountain musin truely is an inspirational thing
the way the notes combine to play on one another and become something bigger :)
Bluegrass is very much like Jazz. I call it souped up Hillybilly Jazz. It's an improvised music. The artists learn the basic songs and master their instrument, then they can play with other Bluegrass musicians even if they have never met before. Each artist uses improvisation with each song and makes it his/her own. Many many times I've seen a group of strangers gather under a tree and pick music together for hours and sometimes for days, and it was some of the best music I've ever heard. They would try to "out play" each other by "coloring" the music with their own style and improvisation. I'm missing it even now as I type. There is nothing else in the world like it except maybe the Jazz festivals.
