About Arthur Smith
They successfully contested the case and received back royalties. In 1948, he achieved Top 10 US country chart success with his MGM Records recordings of "Guitar Boogie" and "Banjo Boogie", with the former crossing over to the US pop chart, introducing many people to the potential of the electric guitar (in 1959, "Guitar Boogie" was a US and UK pop hit for the Virtues and the same year became British guitarist Bert Weedon's first UK pop hit, although both recorded it as "Guitar Boogie Shuffle") - Billboard initially seemed unsure in which chart to place the recording. That same decade his and Don Reno’s instrumental from 1955 called Feudin’ Banjos appeared in the popular film, Deliverance as Dueling Banjos in a new recording by Eric Weisberg and Steve Mandel.

Double bass
of the violin family of string instruments, which includes the violin, viola, and cello. It resembles the other members of the family, but is much larger and has slight differences in shape. Other names for the instrument (especially when used in folk, bluegrass, and jazz music) include string bass, acoustic bass, bass violin, doghouse bass, dog-house, bull fiddle, contrabass, and upright bass. A person who plays this instrument is called a double-bassist or contrabassist. The double bass, unlike the rest of the violin family, is derived from the viol family of instruments, in particular the Violone, a bass viol. Because of this, and also to avoid too long fingerstretch, it is tuned in fourths whereas the violin, viola and cello are tuned in fifths. Other differences with the violin, viola and

IBMA
IBMA The International Bluegrass Music Association, or IBMA, exists to promote bluegrass music. Its main annual event, the World of Bluegrass, is a combination trade show and awards presentation, held annually since 1990. In 1991 the IBMA Hall of Honor was created to recognize lifetime contributions to bluegrass, both by performers and non-performers. The first inductees were Bill Monroe, Lester Flatt, and Earl Scruggs.

Béla Fleck
the band Béla Fleck and the Flecktones, which he has described as "a mixture of acoustic and electronic music with a lot of roots in folk and bluegrass as well as funk and jazz." [1] Fleck was drawn to the banjo when he first heard Earl Scruggs play the theme song for the television show Beverly Hillbillies. He received his first banjo at age fifteen, and within a few years began performing with travelling bands.[1],[2] Before the Flecktones, Fleck played with Newgrass Revival and several other bluegrass bands. After a 1998 phone call with bassist Victor Wooten, Fleck and Wooten formed Béla Fleck & the Flecktones, rounded out with harmonica player Howard Levy and Wooten's percussionist brother Roy "Future Man" Wooten, who plays synthesizer-based percussion. With the Flecktones, Fleck has been

Bluegrass music
Bluegrass music Bluegrass music is a form of American roots music with its own roots in the Irish traditional music and Scottish traditional music of immigrants from the British Isles (particularly the Scots-Irish immigrants of Appalachia),as well as the music of African-American slaves. It was this tradition that A.P. Carter used and collected for the songs played and written by the Carter Family. Bluegrass songs are played with each melody instrument switching off playing the melody each time through, while the others revert to backup; this is in contrast to old-time music, in which all instruments play the melody together, when indeed they are playing together rather than solo. The bluegrass style was invented in the first half of the 20th century by mandolinist Bill Monroe

The Eagles
The Eagles. For other uses of the word, see Eagle (disambiguation). The Eagles are an American rock music group that originally got together in Los Angeles, California in the early 1970s. Their early music was a hybrid of country and bluegrass instrumentation grafted onto the harmonies of California surfer rock, producing tender ballads and soft top-down country-flavored pop-rock about relationships, cars, and the wandering life. The originators of this genre were gifted singer/songwriters, among them Jackson Browne, J. D. Souther, and Warren Zevon. The Eagles took the singer-songwriter ethos to a group setting with increased emphasis on arrangements and musicianship, and the group's early sound became synonymous with the southern California country rock. On later albums the band dispensed with bluegrass instrumentation and gravitated to a more straight-ahead rock sound. Not

Improvisation
up as you go along. This term is usually used in the context of music or theater. In music, jazz and Bluegrass are well-known for using improvisation. It features in many kinds of traditional music, including flamenco, Carnatic music, Pygmy and other African music, and was once an important element in classical music (see cadenza and figured bass). Improvisation can be structured, with certain rules constraining the improvisation (for example, "make up a song about bicycles", "use these chord changes", and so on), or can have no such constraints (free improvisation). A growing number of contemporary composers are requiring a greater degree of improvisation in their music, including Pauline Oliveros, Terry Riley, and Christian Wolff. Most aspiring actors do a lot of improv. It is a staple of drama and theater
