Ran one of my songs by a bluegrass group but they passed. Too many chords in the turn arounds and it has a C#dim7. Also, it wasn’t about moonshine or a murder up the holler. 😂🎼

Disrespecting fellow musicians? Of course, bluegrass runs through much of the folk/rock counterculture music of the 60s and 70s. Try some Jonathan Edwards beyond “Sunshine” and “Shanty”. For banjo immunization, start with Steve Martin, “The Great Remember”.

My point being, as rendered with obvious humorous reference to stereotypes, is that some bluegrass traditionalists can be a little stiff about what kind of material they want to perform. I wouldn’t take it too seriously.
