Monday Morning Bluegrass, Er, Redgrass

Forget currency fixing, trade deficits, six-way summits, and bad fusion food. What the world needs now is... Redgrass! That is, bluegrass performed on traditional Chinese instruments, as seen here in a spirited performance by Mei Han's Red Chamber ensemble with John Reischman and the Jaybirds:

Thanks to Kim Komando, self-dubbed Digital Goddess, for first offering up this performance video, taped in May, 2008, here in the Northwest at Vancouver Community College.

And for another odd, but equally compelling Sino-American musical mish-mash, check out Stephen Merritt's "Showtunes": http://www.amazon.com/Showtunes/dp/B0009K7RLQ

Whoh! - That's amazing! We could outsource Bluegrass! That's half inspirational / half scary.
