Hi.

We haven't had a Food For Thought episode for a while, but I've had something in my head all week based on a few Facebook posts I saw. The general theme was whether something can be called bluegrass if it has a  non-traditionally bluegrass instrument in it (e.g. pedal steel or accordion).

In the episode I play a clip of my interview with Tristan Scroggins where he discusses genre and how he sees it. Here's the full Tristan Scroggins interview if you want to hear it all (or have a listen again - which I'd thoroughly recommend - I did just that this week!).

Have a listen, then head over to Bluegrass Jamalong's Instagram or Facebook and tell us what you think!

Happy picking.

I've just released the 200th episode of Bluegrass Jam Along! I can't believe it's come around after just 14 months!

Thanks to all of you, whether you've been listening a few days or since the start.

I'd really love it if you head to wherever you get your podcasts and leave a review. It would also be great if you could share this podcast with anyone, and everyone, you think might be interested. Helping spread the word helps me keep the podcast going, and also means I can carry on getting great guests on for you!

Thanks again and happy picking.
Matt

This  week we're jamming along to the classic tune Cattle in the Cane. This is a performance track, rather than a backing track. It's me playing both tune and backup so you've got a reference to listen to if you're new to the tune, or just want to be able to listen a few times to the whole thing.

Don't forget to check out the other three episodes when you're done and jam along!

My guest this week is current IBMA Fiddle Player of the Year Bronwyn Keith-Hynes.

We chatted about her fantastic record Fiddler's Pastime, which features guest performances from Sierra Hull, Tim O'Brien and Sarah Jarosz. Check it out - it's great! We also talked about Bronwyn's current gig as fiddle player for Molly Tuttle and Golden Highway.

You can order Fiddler's Pastime from Bronwyn's website and get updates on what's going on via her Instagram 

Here's where you'll find Molly Tuttle tour dates

Bronwyn recommended we all listen to Bella White, so I'll definitely be doing that!

Back soon with more.
Happy picking!
Matt
