We're boarding the old bluegrass time machine and careening back to 1979 where, in November: 500 Iranian students local to the Ayatollah Khomeini seize the US embassy in Tehran; Chuck Berry is released from prison where he had served a four month sentence for income tax evasion; Pink Floyd releases "The Wall" and sells 6 million copies in two weeks; and folks like Seldom Scene, Herchell Sizemore, Ricky Skaggs, South Loomis Quickstep, Blaine Sprouse and Special Concensus were churning out a righteous brand of bluegrass.

Bluegrass Breakdown: Fourteens
It's the natural number between 13 and 15; the number of lines in a sonnet, the atomic number of silicon; the number of the stations of the cross; the number of days in a fortnight; and a number that frequently appears in bluegrass tunes. With the able mathematical assistance of Audie Blaylock & Redline, Special Consensus, Kevin Richardson & Cuttin' Edge and Mark O'Connor, we'll be looking closely at the number fourteen.

A ride isn't just a ride, but more like a rite of passage. We'll be riding the pony, riding the rainbow, riding with Odie, Raleigh, Reno, Robert & Ruby and riding Old Buck to water.

It's a derivative of the German name "William," that means resolute protector. Its heyday was between 1920 and 1960 where the moniker was frequently bestowed upon baby boys. However, the name has not fared well in BGLand where it's often used to signifhy characters of dubious reputation. With the help of Kenny & Amanda Smith, the Middle Spunk Creek Boys, Volume Five and Lonesome Standard Time, we'll be getting the willies.

On this week's Bluegrass Breakdown : Dating back to the dawn of time, they were mankind's first tool, a cutting edge attached to a handle that performed a myriad of tasks. Originally crude instruments made from rock, bone, flint or obsidian, current iterations are made out of a variety of materials and come ina a bewildering number of shapes and sizes. An essential part of any Bluegrasslander's daily carried items, they unsurprisingly appear as the focal point of many a fine high, blue, and/or lonesome tune. With the help of Valerie Smith, Blue Moon Rising, Northwest Territory and the Spinney Brothers, we'll be celebrating the wonders of bluegrassical knife-dom.

It's the stuff on which BluegrassLand runs. While it's loaded with caffiene, it's usually devoid of any nutritional value. But what it lacks in that department, it more than makes up in providing the subject matter for some mighty fine tunes. With the help of fellow beverage-guzzlers like the Lonesome Pine Fiddlers,
They're tried and true and have well withstood the test of time. Throughout the 70's, Kind Bluegrass Records churned out one stellar album after the other — 44 of them to be exact, starting with one from Ralph Stanley and ending with one from Robin Trout & Super Bluegrass. And we've been going through them in proper discographical order, covering the first 18 LP's in the first two installments with nine more to come this week.
On this week's Bluegrass Breakdown : It's to speak and act so as to make it appear that something is the case when in fact it is not.

With the help of Audie Blaylock, Ronnie Bowman, Sierra Hull, Flatt & Scruggs, Jimmy Martin, Old & In the Way and Lynn Morris, we'll be PRETENDING.
On this week's Bluegrass Breakdown : It's a soft woven tufted fabric with a short dense pile, often associated with nobility because of its high production costs. And thanks to tunes like the "Girl in the Blue Velvet Band," "Blue Velvet Rain" and "Elvis on Velvet and Monroe on Grass," it's got a pretty tight connection with the bluegrass world as well. With the musical assistance of Gary Brewer, Bill Monroe, the Steep Canyon Rangers, the Austin Lounge Lizards, Earl Scruggs and Colebrook Road, we
