Re: Bluegrass for the elderly
I just hope we continue to find younger musicians to play bluegrass, regardless of the age of their audiences.
One reason for the continuing "senioritis" of BG audiences may be the festival format; it attracts the RV crowd, and they lean toward retirees. Younger families with kids may feel that there's not much for 10-year-olds to do -- if they're not already pickin' themselves.
I find folk music audiences also getting significantly grayer. And so am I...
