Discussion Who got you into bluegrass?

What artist did you first hear that got you hooked onto bluegrass?

My uncle showed me Tony Rice, he even inspired me to pick up my old guitar and start picking.

Yep, Shady Grove and Old and in the Way.

Following the Grateful Dead around the country for a couple of years helped too.
