That is interesting. I guess there are quite a few Bluegrass fans in Japan. I went to college at East Tennessee State University (ETSU), right smack in the Tennessee hills, and they have a Bluegrass major. It is my understanding that the ETSU Bluegrass ensemble heads to Japan on a regular basis and draws big crowds.

That dude has got it down pat.

precisely why it is necessary to keep your windows rolled up at all times while driving through tennessee. :-Dum(DBG):

joking aside, i thought the guitar and the yodeling were pleasant, but his singing was very nasally.

David, you went to ETSU? Very cool.

Not only do they have a Bluegrass performance major, but storytelling as well. If you haven't experienced the annual National Storytelling Festival in Jonesborough, TN, you should.

Yeah, I have wanted to get to the Storytelling Festival for a long time. I love mountain folk tales.

Aside from the heavy accent, I thought that his singing was pretty good for Bluegrass.
