Apologies to the entire list, but I couldn't resist the economy of a three 
word joke.

I checked and there is no correlation between the political stripe of any 
particular Bluegrass musician and their stand on the harp-or-no-harp issue.

Ralph Stanley did however admit to being a Democrat in the Concert 
Film/Documentary the Coen brothers did after Oh Brother Where Art Thou.  I 
wouldn't-a made that part up.
