When I was in 9th grade, one of my first dates was taking a girl to a bluegrass festival. That sounds crazy for someone in Texas. But I was fascinated with that music, even though it wasn't part of the gulf coast at all. When I started playing, my first guitar hero was Norman Blake. In college, I had a bluegrass band called the Front Porch Boys, went to fiddle contests, learned a jillion fiddle and old-timey songs. My whole education in music started with bluegrass.
You have heard him talk about that story of his date....and his car catching Fire at the Willie Picnic....on one of his early live songs...haven't you?
ETA: Here is the story about his bluegrass band in a song called Bluegrass Widow
Here is the story about his first date and car burning at Willie's Picnic

I thought he didn't have that high and lonesome sound that bluegrass music requires? According to the front porch boys anyway. They were taking bluegrass music where it's never been before....and they weren't taking him with em.
