| Opinion: Bluegrass Stage Attire: Does it Reallty Matter? |
 Bob_Cherry wrote: On the bluegrass list, BGRASS-L, the topic of attire for bluegrass bands came up. As is usual on this forum, there were many diverse and varying opinions. Does it really matter? Some of those who rarely, if ever, dress up opined that it was OK not to dress up. A lot of fans indicated that they prefer a band that dresses up a bit for shows. There was a lot of commentary in between. Our current poll reflects your opinion. Please enter your opinion in our poll on the right.
