What the heck is browngrass?

This is a term I coined a few years back when I was one half of the accoustic super-duo "Tilt & Bard".  People would ask me what kind of music we played & I would have to go on this long disertation to try to describe it & unless they were fans of the genre they walked away more confused than before.  So we started calling in browngrass.  Kinda like bluegrass - but not.  My mandolin plugged in so that automatically disqualified me from authentic bluegrass.  Plus God did not see fit to bless me with that "High & lonesome sound that bluegrass music requires" (thank you REK). So I'll just keep trucking along with my raspy baritone & hope a good harmony singer comes along some day.  (Sorry Bryan).  But most important it (this music) originates in a place where we are lucky if the grass is green for more than one month a year, much less blue.  Hence the name "Browngrass". Enjoy.
