	I was just singing "Peach Picking Time in Georgia"
by Jimmy Rogers for the n+1 th time and I noticed something
interesting, one verse goes:

	There's bluegrass in Kentucky
		Virginia's where they do the swing.

Now, I have always assumed that "bluegrass" refers to bluegrass
music, but that can't be, because Jimmy Rogers died in 
1936, at least 5 years before Bill Monroe formed the
"Bluegrass Boys."    Monroe preforms the song, I wonder
if he took the name from the Jimmy Rogers song?
