My inlaws think that my liking bluegrass makes me a fan of the

If you are what you eat... do you play what you hear? That is to say,
playing a style well, requires listening to the style. If this
Well in my Spanish ghetto we have plenty of greens of mustard and collard
sort, and there has yet to be a heavy blues and southern funk movement
coming out of Castilla. I have to go with Val and say that the emotion does
it, and if you change a couple of words so that a song has some relation to
How appropriate that I am reading this as a pot of greens cooks down

Ah, spoken like a true chef. I mean, who else would use the word
infused with hock?
Damn, what a big can of worms. Interesting way of looking at the music
scene. Does this mean that banjos will only be perennial below zone 5?
I suppose accordians overwinter well in zone 3 providing there is only
