Answer 2

Mountain music in the hills of the Southeast United states has always been a large part of the culture of the people who live there. The biggest influence of course would have to be the Scots~Irish, or Celtic music with the Verse Verse, Bridge, Bridge style of playing and singing. It is the small variations on that theme which can tell us about our ancestors and the musical stylings they may have brought along with them. The Reels of course are from the Celtic Connection.
In Particular, Bluegrass music, from areas of Kentucky and Tennessee, where many Melungeon ancestors lived is a bit different in it's tone, tempo, style and even scales on occasion from the rest of the music from the Southeast. In this article I am including a few side trips to musical sites so the readers can draw their own conclusions.


Best of Luck!
