I have always felt very close to Bluegrass music, though it is completely outside my youth or any real experience. My family left SW VA in 1810. Do you know when Bluegrass music started? Would it's roots have been there that early? We are all so surrounded by music now. It is hard to imagine how someone born on the New River in the 1770's and raised on the Clinch, would have heard much music except on very rare occasions. Diana Williams
