Re: [Harp-L] First bluegrass harmonica recording

How is it 'Bluegrass' Glen? apart from the fact that it's accompanying
Charlie Monroe.
I can't see that this is 'Bluegrass' anyhow. The harp playing is no
different from a lot
of other stuff from around the same period. Couldn't you just as well call
Henry Whitter's efforts from the
20s 'Bluegrass'? Seems people call any south eastern string band music
'Bluegrass' these days.
Then again, what people call 'R & B' today doesn't make any sense to me
either.
