Im an old time , bluegrass americana junkie myself , listened to nothin but that during middle school mostly , played guitar , tenor banjo badly , and 5 string banjo before it broke - despite being associated with white rural culture , old time and bluegrass music is a product of a multicultral society , and African influences in banjo tunes is an obvious influence as its an Afircan instrument - stuff like this fascinates me and makes me keep coming back and loving American Folk Music , its very important and im glad many young people all over the U.S are embracing the old songs ! Its an exciting time and this travelling community is helping to preserve an American treasure - so Cheers to ur music taste ! Most people will just say its hillbilly trash !

I wrote a song based on Irish folk music. Here's the link, if you wanna check it out:

Just click on "Irish Travelin' T," It should say "Tune", not "T," but that's what they put it up as when i uploaded it. I had set it up for free downloads, but for some reason it's not working.... I'll work on that. Hope ya like it.

Always up for some folk or old time. Seattle has a pretty decent scene (not that I have much to compare it to).
I got my first exposure playing old time at a jam on a house boat with a bunch of men over the age of 50. I brought my cello. By the end of the night, though, they had me fiddling. I can get around fine on a cello, adding in the rhythm or harmonies - but it's fun to grab a fiddle and play it between my legs. My first tune was Solider['s] Joy.
From there, I've moved on to contra - the tunes are generally a lot more melodic.
http://www.elixirmusic.com/ <-- that's a good band to check out. They have a free music player on their site. They've got horns.
I also got into Scottish and used to be in a traditional Scot gaelic music band. Learning the language was rad... great excuse to wear a kilt/tartan skirt (not that I need one).
Yes.
I like folk music.
Blue grass too.
Old time.
