   Most Walmarts will have at least a tiny section labeled   
   'Bluegrass.'  Do you attend Bluegrass fests?  Regular   
   BG venues?  Heck, there's always the net, where you can   
   shop from home.  Other than that, last year I attended the   
   Tennessee Homecoming in Knoxville, TN, and there must   
   have been at least 40-50 BG bands from all over the   
   country performing live and all selling CDs.  Also many   
   little informal groups playing that had cut at least one CD.   
      
   I travel around the country to different BG venues, and   
   what I am seeing is very friendly BG fans but mainly a very   
   mature white crowd.  There were some young black   
   college students from UTenn at the Tennessee Homecoming   
   last year.
