Well... that was different.

Went to Monroe's tonight, another place I hadn't checked out yet. Live music, but an amped up gig-type deal rather than a trad session. One guy with a button accordian, another with a guitar and a harmonica rig thingy.

Let's just say, you haven't heard true musical fusion until you've heard a country rendition of AC/DC's "You Shook Me All Night Long" played into CCR's "Proud Mary" played into a set of traditional reels.

Or "Sweet Caroline" into a set of Irish polkas.

They also really REALLY like their Johnny Cash here. Whodathunk it'd make a great launch-pad into some jigs, though?

Crazy stuff, but good times.

Have you heard Metallica in Bluegrass form? It is different too...we like it, but not too many that do. Same concept, though.
