My last word in this round, honest... >The Bluegrass Borg must get ourselves a manchurian candidate & brainwash him to infiltrate >Garth's road band. Brooks is already pretty bluegrass-friendly, what with being the only person in the world able to reunite the Newgrass Revival <g>, and he carries one of the best bluegrass bass players and singers around in his band, even if she only sings and doesn't play bass therein. I also hear from reliable sources that he has a killer version of "The Fields Have Turned Brown" in the can, with Carl Jackson singing harmony.
