Subject: Music as Social Action: "Bluegrass Picks"

In Music and Society the author goes in great detail about musis as social action. He states, "Playing music involves more than just a technical ability; it is necessary to be part of a social relationship for any kind of performance to occur (p.168). i think Michelle and the two Greg's made this clear when it comes to "bluegrass picks." You must be able to form in a socially open-minded and conscious group to have the "bluegrass picks" they talked about. Everyone plays a role, in whatever it may be. Some lead a song, while others play in the background until it is their turn. A community is formed where their is not heirarchy. Until, as one of the Greg's mentioned, some musicnazi, as he referred to them, tries to take over the jam. Then you just simply get up and have a drink. Well said Greg, people from the big state can be alright!
