''Cybergrass'' (www.cybergrass.com ) is the first web site dedicated to bluegrass music. The music web site was created on the Internet September 9, 1992 by Bob Cherry. The site acquired its current name and trademark in 1995 and rebranded itself as ''Cybergrass - The Internet's Bluegrass Music Magazine''. The site has had numerous face lifts over the years. Beginning as a lyrics site, it progressed into a bluegrass music portal with a variety of features. Today, the site's current configuration is as a daily bluegrass music news site. The subject of the publication has always been bluegrass music. The site has been an innovator in music web sites. ''Cybergrass'' was the first web site to ever carry a music awards show—the GRAMMYs in 1996 and has webcast the IBMA Awards show for every year they have been available from the International Bluegrass Music Association. The site was also the first Broadcast Music Incorporated (BMI) licensed web site (1995). ''Cybergrass'' remains an IBMA (bluegrass resource ). ''Cybergrass'' editorial content continues to profile artists, announce new releases, announce new events and products of interest to a bluegrass music audience. The site removed all music content when DMCA was written but continues their promotion of anything surrounding the music. After the release of O Brother Where Art Thou, there has been a resurgence of interest in the music of Bill Monroe. More than a thousand bluegrass music related web sites are online around the world today. ==References== * (IBMA Bluegrass Music Resources ). * (Sonic Bids Promotions ). * (Webcast IBMA Awards Show Webcasts ). * (First bluegrass web site ). 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cybergrass」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
