Double Bass NYTimes today: "mountain music"

Good article. True for many if not most of us. Worth noting, most bluegrass and other improvisational genre has a local flavor that is not duplicated in other regions, so the descriptions from the article apply all over the continent, and for that matter, the world.

I'd also mention, there are a number of online musical jam-based communities that are flourishing in JamKazam despite the pandemic -- in fact they really are flourishing because of the pandemic. A number of threads here in TB/DB address that.

Best of luck to all who are trying to keep these musical traditions alive.
