SpeedRacer 1 #1 November 21, 2005 I just watched this documentary about bluegrass legend Jimmy Martin, and at one point he's opening a royalty check from Switzerland or somewhere & talking about various European countries where he's sold a lot of music. I was surprised to hear this, because most non-Americans that I've encountered don't seem to care much for bluegrass...I guessed it was just the kinda thing you have to grow up listening to. But maybe I'm wrong. Are there many bluegrass fans outside of the USA? (I know that the movie O Brother Where Art Thou sold pretty well overseas btw).

Some one is letting blue grass music or its fans out of the USA ? Please, America, you have lots of good things to export do not allow this music or its fans out of the USA Keep this crap at home "Where troubles melt like lemon drops, away above the chimney tops, that's where you'll find me" Dorothy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
