Bill Monroe would be scratching his head.

  Today, after getting my truck out of the shop, I was surfing the radio stations.  Its always the same thing, a bunch of mindless dribble.  I did catch the tail end of some Styx, but thats not what this is about.  I get to 90.4 FM and I hear a mandolin and banjo getting played so I decided to stop.  I was thinking to myself, "Alright they are playing some Bluegrass; maybe a few people up here do know what good music is."  I almost instantly recognize the song as "Blue Moon of Kentucky."  As the next verse comes up I start to sing along, but what I sing didnt match.  Thinking that I was on the wrong verse I listen to figure out where it was.  The lady was singing in Chinese.  No wonder I was lost.  As it turned out, the station is playing chinese country, western, and bluegrass covers.  I didnt know what to say so I just listened.  I heard Wabash Cannonball, I was Country before Country was Cool, Elvira, Moaning the Blues, and a few other sang in Mandarin.  You should have seen the looks I was getting from other motorists.  I never knew mountain music was poplular in other countries.
