[B]
Bluegrass music has all the [G] elements of jazz.
It's free form, it's off the cuff, you've got to be really good on your instrument
to play and be known as a great bluegrass player.
I mean, people judge you by how good you can play, how well you [N] come in and out.
What you don't play, as opposed to what you could have played and what you didn't play,
and what you did play, that's really cool.
Bluegrass music has heart, soul, passion.
It's Americana, it's as pure as a driven snow, it's as hot as a Texas chili pepper.
But it's as lonesome as a whippoorwill.
