   "B" is exactly right....Sugerhill Records, for one, is a GREAT place to   
   start.   
      I would also recommend Woodsongs Old Time Radio Hour (woodsongs.com)   
   which broadcasts "live" every Monday night at 7 p.m. (video and audio   
   feed) E.S.T..Quite often Michael (the host) has Bluegrass genré folks.   
      Our local Boarders Book Store has just moved into the area, and I was   
   pleased to see that THEY had a "Bluegrass" section.   
      Some recommended artists would be:   
      
   Dawg   
   Frank Wakefield   
   Flatt & Scruggs   
   Bill Monroe   
   Alison Kraus   
   Ricky Skaggs   
   Tony Rice   
   Chris Thile   
   Del McCourey (sp?)   
   The Dry Branch Fire Squad   
   Seldom Scene   
      
   and many, many more.....   
         "Good Luck!!"
