How Bluegrass Are You? Your Result: You're Purty Bluegrass

You've probably been around Bluegrass long enough to know what's up, but lets face it...you lack the know-how needed to run with the big dogs. It's ok though, everyone can see your "I Love Bluegrass" shirt and your "Bluegrass Is Finger Pickin' Good" bumper sticker. You'll pop in at many of the festivals as a daytimer, and probably stay overnight sometimes. Stick around long enough and you'll soon develop an obsession like the rest of us!

You're Somewhat Bluegrass
Ehhh....not Bluegrass at all
