Who is gracie muldoon?
Gracie Muldoon was born in Ft Thomas Kentucky in 1957 and raised in Newport Ky where she attended grade through high school. She represented her high school in the Northern Kentucky Junior Miss Pageant in 1974, sponsored by the Northern Kentucky Jaycees. She married twice and raised three sons, Craig, Jay and Cody. She became a volunteer bluegrass broadcaster for WOBO 88.7 FM in Cincinnati and even was invited to the Dawn Patrol show on WEBN 102.7 by Eddie Fingers and Bob "The Producer" to talk about her bluegrass, classic country show, Muldoon til Noon, because her popularity with their rock listeners had crossed over into their ratings share on Friday mornings when she was "on air". After a pleasant interview, she went back to WOBO only to discover that in the next few months she would be terminated as a volunteer host, where she had helped to raised thousands of dollars in their semi annual fund drive, because of her appearance on the rock station. She was given the reason for dismissal was that she was too "controversial" because she refused their instruction of not to mention her faith in Jesus Christ nor to make statements supporting the troops. This made her a sweetheart of many VFWs and soldiers. Her show was followed by a live version of the Rosary, conducted by a Catholic Priest on air, so she felt the WOBO board was being hypocritical in asking her not to mention the name of Jesus. After leaving that station, she went on to broadcast online for a country/bluegrass station, again as a volunteer. Her Ohio and Kentucky and Indiana fans who she'd won their hearts on WOBO followed her to the internet, became devoted fans, often sending her cards, letters and invitation to family reunions and churches. She attended very few, because she was a private person who only wished to promote Bluegrass music and enjoy the fruits of her association with the celebrities of Bluegrass, Country and Rock music. Eventually she started her own Bluegrass station, that was supported by her own pocketbook, invitation anyone who would volunteer to host a 2-3 hour program from anywhere in the world via their own computers, become part of the organization. Her faith in God, is what she believes to have been her success, and she now has a worldwide fan base. The streaming website still exists and is known fondly as the WWB or World Wide Bluegrass. She has been awarded many awards, her most cherished, The Honorary Daughter of Bluegrass Award by Tom T. and Dixie Hall, A Honorable Kentucky Colonel, appointed by Govern James Patton of the state of Kentucky (sponsored by one of her many fans and hangs framed in her home), and the Music Heritage Award from the Appalachian Community Development Association of which she was made a Lifetime Member and Achiever. Her colorful and heartfelt writings and reviews are sought out by artists and bands, because her large fan base, takes her word on whether a project is "ear worthy" or not. She does not review projects she dislikes, therefore a review by her almost guarantees a bluegrass or country band success. Her reason for not giving scathing or critical reviews, is that she wants to never be a discouragement to anyone, who would have, a musical dream; as she kept her own hidden in her heart for years. She performs only at weddings and funerals as a vocalist and rhythm guitarist, and only for close friends and family. Gracie has crossed over into reviewing books, events, videos and performances with the same philosophy that has made her a marginal success in music and a complete success in Bluegrass music, in particular. Many record labels, use her for quotes on their new artist projects. For more information, on her personally, see MYSPACE and FACEBOOK, or GOOGLE her.

How did bluegrass start?
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.
Country music originated in what region of the US?
Whereas Nashville Tennessee, is the "Country Music Capitol of the World." Kentucky, is the "Home of Bluegrass." Even before the United States became an independent nation, individuals who lived in what is now the states of Kentucky, Tennessee, and Virginia developed the music that the world knows as bluegrass. These people used such instruments as guitars, banjos, and fiddles to create their music. Country music and bluegrass music are related to each other. The only thing that makes them different, is that bluegrass performers use the basic instruments that were used in the early years of America. Country music artist have much more musical instruments to back them up. Such instruments for the country singers would include guitars, fiddles, piano, harmonica, steel guitar, drums, and electric guitar.
What did the Wikipedia article on bluegrass music mean when it said that bluegrass never was folk music under a strict definition?
Bluegrass music was developed in the late 40's by Bill Monroe and his Bluegrass Boys, featuring Lester Flatt and Earl Scruggs who provided Bluegrass' hard driving sound. Bluegrass was a refinement of 'Old Timey' music which was a evolution of folk music brought by immigrants to the Appalachian mountains. As time went on songs that came from such countries as Ireland and Scotland became the basis of songs that were sung and played with instruments such as guitars, fiddles, and banjos. Eventually, new songs would be written in the manner of which we know as Bluegrass Music today.
