I was listening to an interview with Gillian Welch today, and I realized anew that there is a bluegrass girl hiding in this soul. I felt every line as I sang along to "Orphan Girl", though I have a mother, a father, a sister, and a brother.
I can't listen to an Emmylou CD without singing every part, imagining that Neil Young just might show up for a singalong at MY house too, and that Allison Krauss is welcome with her fiddle at any time.
I put out a facebook request for a bluegrass jam, and I do believe people thought I was joking. I AM NOT. I don't need to be on stage, I don't even need to learn to play another instrument. I just want a group to sing in as many parts as we want, sitting around my living room.
Are there any other bluegrass wannabees out there?
