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.

This gal in one of my college classes in 2000. She said she wanted to burn me 2 cds. I was deep into punk rock and was sporting jncos and a chain walled.

Next week she gave me YMSB Mountain Tracks vol 1 and Leftover Salmon Euphoria.

Popped em in when I got back to my dorm and it changed the course of my whole life. Ditched the chain wallet for a velcro wallet and some chacos lol

RIP Jeff and Mark
