Remember kids; if they don’t do what you what you want them to, vote them out and replace them with people who will.

That’s a short-term indicator that means nothing in the context of, like, all the decades of hiring and wage discrimination.

Ultimately, Ard was fired for “poor performance,” according to the Chronicle.

Bluegrass has it’s first roots in the Irish, Scottish, and English traditional music which then incorporated aspects of jazz.

I hope you understand that bluegrass was an irish/scottish/english tradition that settlers embellished upon. of course later it was influenced by african american music (like literally every genera) but to say it wouldnt exist without that influence is hyperbolic and untrue.

Fantasies can offer us visions and goals, but they can’t function as blueprints.
