PRESERVING BLUEGRASS MUSIC AS AN ART FORM

WELCOME TO MY BLUEGRASS PAGE # 2: HERE YOU WILL FIND MORE LINKS TO ALL KINDS OF THINGS PERTAINING TO BLUEGRASS.
THIS PAGE IS DEDICATED TO THE CONTINUATION AND PRESERVATION OF BLUEGRASS MUSIC IN THIS COUNTRY. THIS TRADITIONAL MUSIC DOESN'T RECEIVE THE RECOGNITION IT DESERVES. IT IS AN OUTSTANDINING FORM OF MUSIC WHICH BLENDS TOGETHER DIFFERENT TYPES OF MUSIC TO MAKE A UNIQUE SOUND.

WHEN BILL MONROE FIRST STARTED PLAYING HE CAME UP WITH THIS SOUND AND IT WAS CALLED BLUEGRASS AFTER HIS HOME STATE OF KENTUCKY(THE BLUEGRASS STATE). WHEN HE FORMED HIS FIRST BAND THEY CALLED IT THE KENTUCKIANS. THE NAME WAS LATER CHANGED TO THE BLUEGRASS BOYS. FITTINGLY HE BECAME KNOWN AS THE FATHER OF BLUEGRASS.

TRAGICALLY FOR THE BLUEGRASS WORLD IN SEPTEMBER OF 1996 BILL MONROE DIED. THERE ARE MANY OF US OUT HERE WHO CONTINUE TO TRY TO CARRY ON THE TRADITION HE STARTED.

THERE ARE MANY CLUBS, ORGANISATIONS, AND MAGAZINES IN THIS COUNTRY, INDEED ALL OVER THE WORLD, WHO ARE DEDICATED TO PRESERVING AND CARRYING ON THE MUSIC THAT BILL LOVED SO MUCH. WE TOO LOVE THIS MUSIC. IF YOU ARE A BLUEGRASS FAN, BUT DON'T KNOW OTHERS WHO SHARE THIS LOVE, YOU CAN FIND THEM, THEY ARE OUT THERE, YOU JUST HAVE TO DO A LITTLE LOOKING.

I WAS LUCKY, THEY CAME TO ME 6 YEARS AGO. I'VE BEEN WITH THEM EVER SINCE. BLUEGRASS MUSIC IS THE #1 LOVE OF A GREAT MANY PEOPLE, PEOPLE WHO BELIEVE IN TRADITION AND FAMILY. BLUEGRASSERS ARE A BREED APART, WE ARE ALL FAMILY, A BLUEGRASS FAMILY.
