The bluegrass musicians likely eliminated the slapstick comedy routines due to a desire to maintain the authenticity and integrity of the genre. Slapstick comedy may have been seen as distracting or incompatible with the traditional roots of bluegrass music. Additionally, the musicians may have wanted to focus more on showcasing their musical talents and storytelling abilities rather than incorporating comedic elements into their performances. Ultimately, the decision to eliminate slapstick comedy routines may have been a strategic choice to align more closely with the cultural and artistic values of the bluegrass tradition.
Kentucky and tennessee
The state of Kentucky is known as the Bluegrass State. It is so named because there is an abundance of bluegrass that is found all over the state.
The Bluegrass states were North Carolina, South Carolina, Kentucky, Tennessee, and West Virginia. To remember them, know that all five states border each other and they're near the Atlantic Ocean.
In the 1940s, bluegrass music was often referred to as "hillbilly music" or "folk music." The term "bluegrass" itself became more widely used after the genre was popularized by Bill Monroe and his band, the Blue Grass Boys, in the mid-1940s. This name was derived from the bluegrass region of Kentucky, which is associated with the style's roots.
Banjo's are most closely associated with Bluegrass music, but they are played in a wide variety of different music. They were often played in Vaudeville shows, and these days I have heard them in bands playing Contra Dance music, country music, not-so-traditional Celtic music, Folk music. I am not a banjo player, so hopefully someone who is can provide more examples.

Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music. It has its own roots in Irish, Scottish and English traditional music. Bluegrass was inspired by the music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants in Appalachia), as well as jazz and blues. In bluegrass, as in jazz, each instrument takes a turn playing the melody and improvising around it, while the others revert to backing; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together or one instrument carries the lead throughout while the others provide accompaniment. Bluegrass is distinctively acoustic instrumentation not using electrical instruments of any kind except for the electric bass guitar.
