Even America's own sacred and beloved Bluegrass music is going by the way.

3. Fully offshored Bluegrass.

I hear that Chinese musicians can be had for a dime a dozen. ;)

5. i LOVED this video- unrecommened for the context of the posting.

"Even America's own sacred and beloved Bluegrass music is going by the way."

Wha- only white people can play bluegrass? is this some vast conspiracy by the "music biz" (read: Hebrews) to "outsource jobs"? Is "America's own" culture and heritage laid to waste by non-whites playing music that originated in Anglo-Franco cultures that bear little or no resemblance to your own "sacred and beloved" antebellum pure-blooded 'Murka?

Please, tell me your intent was sarcasm. Please!

If Music can not transcend ALL boundaries and boarders, cultures and languages- NOTHING can and we as a species are doomed.

7. Of course it was sarcasm.

I'm a musician/producer.

FYI, there's plenty of non-white Americans playing bluegrass.
Also, fyi, the banjo is derived from an African instrument brought to America by African slaves.
