I like and liked pre-amplified bluegrass.

I am confused by "pre amplified bluegrass"
Do you mean hearing a group in a venue so small that they did not need
amps? I guess TV is out for you totally.
Everyone likes a small room performance. I even enjoyed Barry Manilow
at Shady Grove in Gathersburg (small dinner theater) and I hate the
dude. He did work pretty hard to put on a show. You have to when you
go from Mandy on the radio everywhere to dinner theater.

There is a lot of bluegrass played in a small venue. It's usually called 'jamming'. A bunch of
pickers get together and the only folks who can hear are sitting around right around the campsite.

It would be pretty hard for a thousand folks in lawn chairs to hear anything that wasn't amplified.

That was my point.

I know. I was just explaining it a bit more for YKW.
