"Means More than Just Music to the Washington DC Region's Bluegrass Scene"

"WHEREAS, the greater Washington, D.C.-area has become one of the most active, creative and productive
Bluegrass and Old-Time Music Communities in the world;" - Adrian M. Fenty Mayor, District of Columbia"
What is DCAB-L?

The DC Area Bluegrass List (DCAB-L) is an email listserver much like the BGRASS-L list.
The list is hosted and owned by Debbie Durant.

DISCLAIMER: Although this list is NOT legally or officially aligned with the DCBU, both entities may, from time-to-time, work together towards realizing shared goals.

NOTE: The DCAB-L is hosted on Google Groups. See below on how to join

DCAB-L exists to promote and support discussion of bluegrass-related topics within the Washington DC/Baltimore area bluegrass music community (DC/VA/WVA/PA/MD), which is arguably THE most active, creative, and productive bluegrass community in the world. In short, DCAB-L is designed to provide a forum for all sorts of bluegrass-oriented networking and communication for the DC bluegrass scene.

What might you read on this list? Well, the DCAB-L serves as an online bulletin board for the DC region's bluegrass community. Postings might include anything relevant to the DC regional bluegrass scene: music news, announcements of upcoming regional gigs/events/performances, music-related classifieds, constructive discussion of controversial bluegrass-oriented subjects, etc. In fact, discussion of ANY issue impacting the DC regional bluegrass community, or the DC scene's impact on bluegrass throughout the world, is highly encouraged.

However, inflammatory, disruptive, or potentially illegal posts (flaming, mean-spirited libelous or damaging innuendo, libel, blatantly commercial non-bluegrass spamming, etc.) consitute grounds for suspension or expulsion from the list, AT THE MODERATOR'S DISCRETION. By all means, be vocal, opinionated, and don't hold back. But please - play nice, and keep it bluegrass-oriented.
