Timing and Cues
incue could be: Bluegrass music has been many things to many people: It?s served as the soundtrack for movie villains, it?s served as an improvisational medium of cutting edge musicians, and it has also served to represent an orientation to home, family and eternity. Today?s Gem of Bluegrass focuses on this latter kind of traditional type of song.
Afterwards, i recommend you play a Lester Flatt song such as No Mother or Dad, of The Old Home Town, or Cabin in Caroline, or the Lonesome Pine fiddlers song, Windy Mountain.
