KENTUCKY the BLUEGRASS STATE Kentucky Kentucky is a land of contrasts It is an in between place that is both North and South country and city Say the word Kentucky and certain images leap to mind Thoroughbred horses galloping through bluegrass carpeted meadows Banjos twanging on the front porch of an Appalachian Mountain log cabin Barbecued chicken Coal miners Stately farms with white picket fences Kentucky has one foot firmly planted in the laid back old South with its other foot in the modern world The state's bustling cities produce automobiles fuel for power plants chemicals and textiles Kentucky's nickname is The Bluegrass State Bluegrass is a kind of meadow grass It is not blue but green Its flowers are blue if allowed to grow to its natural height Bluegrass is also the name of a kind of music that comes from Kentucky It is country jazz music played with banjos and fiddles It's a friendly toe tapping sound that puts a smile on your face just like the state of Kentucky Banjo and fiddle players perform during the ROMP River Of Music Party Festival held yearly in June in Owensboro Kentucky KENTUCKY
