Well, the Title says it all. I should explain: the other day I was talking to a new friend of mine, and the subject of bluegrass came up. He said he liked that style of music, and I brought up F&S. He had never heard of them, so I was just wondering, have any dopers heard of them? If so name a F&S song. No fair checking with amazon.

Here’s one: “No Mother or Dad”
