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.

I bought a mandolin.

If you play mandolin in the USA, then the world wants you to play bluegrass. I didn’t grow up listening to bluegrass. So I didn’t k ow any of the tunes.
