Bluegrass question: Describe what the difference


is between 1st, 2nd, and 3rd generation bluegrass? I want to be able to spot the differences in the music. I love this type of music it comes from the heart and soul. I listen to 80% of this type. I believe its 3rd generation that I listen to alot. Is their anyone out there that shares my same listening tastes?
