Expertise

I am a long time fan of Bluegrass and older country/folk music (20-70's) and have a fairly extensive tape and sheet music library of the same and have played the music non-professionally for many years. I can (hopefully) assist with information about artists and lyrics. Please try to make it the older stuff, I don't listen to much "modern" country except George Strait anymore....it ain't got no soul anymore :)

Experience in the area

I grew up in the 60's listening to all the old greats and learned to play the music. I have spent a lot of time reading about the genres and have gotten a chance to meet several of the big names over the years.

Something interesting about this subject that others may not know:

For Self help: often most questions can be answered with a simple search engine input. Try going to www.google.com, www.ask.com, www.yahoo.com or your favorite engine and enter the following lyrics +whatever you can remember then search often you'll come up with what you need. Sometimes use "song" instead of lyrics.
