My Deep Dark Musical Secret



Here's the LATE edition of Friday Night Happy Hour Video Date with Pete.

I have a deep secret. I listen to a lot of Bluegrass. In fact, I listen to it every day. What I have come to love most is the outstanding musicianship of many of the players. To quote Wikipedia, "Bluegrass music has attracted a diverse and extremely loyal following worldwide. Bluegrass pioneer Bill Monroe characterized the genre:Scottish bagpipes and ole-time fiddlin'. It's Methodist and Holiness and Baptist. It's blues and jazz, and it has a high lonesome sound. It's plain music that tells a good story. It's played from my heart to your heart, and it will touch you. Bluegrass is music that matters."
