Bluegrass State is the official "thing" for Kentucky though I feel TN is more the birthplace of country music in general and more than just bluegrass Great pics Josh
Dude, you gotta share the grass....
Had to follow up...After doing a little more reading from different sources, there is no one true home to bluegrass other than "Appalachia" with genre-defining artists coming from Louisiana to Massachusetts. Virginia has a BUNCH of the earliest groups... as well as KY, NC, TN & WV.I went to a college called Appalachian State University in Boone, NC where traditional bluegrass is very popular and maybe I was being Boone-centric, so I apologize for my less-than-informed opinion that was partially in jest.

Interestingly, the bluegrass refers to an actual type of grass that grows here. When it gets tall in the fields and the wind blows it, it has a distinct blue hue. Most people from other states aren't aware of the origin of the nickname. And no need for apologies what so ever, but absolutely accepted none the less.

Here is another throwback photo. This is my now reground oc pioneer before I tried to bring it back to life. I'm still considering putting these scales on a new pioneer x. That would pretty much be my dream knife.(Image removed from quote.)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

It was part of a buy one get one free eBay sale basically. There was a lot of two oc pioneers for sale. I bought both to get the other one.
