There's also a family bluegrass band fronted by a couple or three sisters that's toured here once or twice, and showcased at the IBMA's trade show a couple of years ago. I believe this may be the same family that they did a segment about on CBS Sunday Morning, say about 3 or 4 months ago? They

Hey there, Neal, closer to Japan than I am... Got me thinking, anyone know who the most popular Japanese artist in US history might be? I can't think of anyone beyond Cibo Matto, who, by virtue of being on a major label, might win this pony race. Well, Pink Lady did have their own TV show in
