	Until recently I was under the mistaken impression
that bluegrass was a generic form of music.  I did not realize
that the name was taken from the incredibly original form of
the music by Bill Monroe and the Blue Grass Boys.   It is a 
musical form only about 10 years older than rock and roll.
It is "fusion" between blues and hoedown dance music.

	Bill Monroe is still alive and playing and I would
go almost anywhere to see him.   When Merle Travis died last
year it was a painful reminder that I should see these great
genuises while I still can.    Does anyone know where Monroe might
play?  I gather he is still active.

	I have religiously checked all the shows in the SF bay
area and in Nevada for any show by Chet Atkins.  I know a
half dozen people here in Santa Cruz that would go anywhere in
the country to see him play.
