when I was in high school, in early 1960s in Northern Virginia, I used to go to 'fiddle conventions' in the Blue Ridge and on the Appalachian trail where I learned alot of old mountain songs from the farmers (not professional musicians) who would drag a fiddle, guitar or banjo down and get to picking their butts off. Not strictlly 'bluegrass', but a close cousin and I learned hundreds of those old tunes and perform them. this is what I called folk music and what the performers like Bill Monroe put together and called bluegrass. Mountain music based on old Scottish, Irish and English traditions. I play my 6 or 12 string guitar and sing 'hillbilly' songs for ppl in retiremen homes and convalescent hospitals :)
