Like Medusa, my dad brought me up on bluegrass (and lots of other stuff) and I still love it.

He used to play for me:

Flatt and Scruggs




this one's just Earl Scruggs


The Stanley Brothers



Jim and Jesse


The Osborne Brothers


The Country Gentlemen (couldn't find a decent clip)

Alice Gerrard (also no clips)

Del McCoury


The Cox Family


and he even introduced me as an adult to a young Alison Krauss, who isn't so much bluegrass anymore, but I still like her (and Union Station) very much...

Couldn't get the clip to embed.
