The Roots of Bluegrass Music
The music of Scotland, referred to as Celtic Music, is a term used by artists, recording studios, music stores, and magazines to describe a larger group of musical genres that evolved out of the folk music traditions of the Celtic people of Western Europe.
Renowned author, June Skinner Sawyers, writer of the book,” Celtic Music a Complete Guide,” acknowledges six Celtic nationalities, divided into two groups according to their linguistic heritage.
The Q-Celtic nationalities are the Irish, Scottish, and Manx in which the language was Gaelic. These people were found in Ireland and off the coast on the Isle of Man. In their music there is a difference in the extended range of sometimes more than two octaves, and by the use of the pure pentatonic
