I like listening to Celtic Folk Music sometimes when I am sipping wine after dinner. It has a direct relationship to American Bluegrass Music. The rhythms, the tone, the timbre are all pretty much the same. It's also the music of my heritage, being Scots-Irish. My family came to America during the Gold Rush. They were miners and a corporation paid them to come here and teach them how to mine gold (yep that stuff actually happened). They were paid with land in Appalachia. The Appalachian Mountains is the cradle of American Country Music, the product of Bluegrass, Blues and Gospel/Spirituals.
