Hello Janice Brooks,Thanks for bring up Bluegrass Music Industry.Just like Yodeling,Cowboy Poetry,Basque Music & Cajun Music.We could go on and on with all styles of music,but,it takes Great Musicians who can play it all and understand the valve of it History.Also,the instrument influences the style of music you are playing as to the Musician that loves it.You have to love the instrument you play to get out of it what you want from it like a Violin-Fiddle,Ukulele,Dobro,Harmonica,Banjo right into the Steel-Guitar or any other.Here are some names now you put them to what style of Music they go with. Rex Allen,Janet McBride,Roy Rogers & Dale Evans,Staurt Hamblen,Judy James,Bill Monroe,Keith Whitley,Ricky Skaggs,Terry McMillan,John Hartford,Billy Armstrong,Michael Martin Murphy.And,Thanks to God for his own style of Music Too! > Sincerely in Music,Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. & Pigeons Band with Crawfish & Southern Spirit.

The only REAL country music I have seen on TV in a LONG time is on RFD network,VERY seldom on CMT,GAC[great American crap]or the tv portion of the[not so grand opry.Sometimes when you surf the music channels,It's hard to tell if you are watching CMT,BET,GAC,or MTV.Noticed an ad on tv today promoting the most SEXIST country music vidios,to hell with the music,The HOLLYWOODEN HEADS have taken over.DYKBC.

Come on now Charles, you can't blame Hollywood for what " Nashville " fruitless back stage fumigate leaders wanted.Since they have had it,it's all messed up.Now,what finger do you want to stick up in the air?,uno! Look,man they got what they wanted for the party and it's riding high.I'm happy for them,because,we know were they stand and all you got to do if you don't like it,turn it off. Why you think them cars keep going in Circles?,Money,Money,Money.money. I could keep on going,but,it's useless. Sincerely in Country Music & all Styles. Leo J.Eiffert,Jr. the one who is a NO BODY!

"Dollywood" does a great business, and "Dolly" bless her heart is still country.

I won't disagree about Dollywood but a few folks including Jeanee Seely's fanclub president were not
happy a couple years ago when legends shows were dropped

That was very unfair! What was the reason?
