Bluegrass refers to several species of grasses of the genus Poa (with the most famous being the Kentucky bluegrass)
The term has also been applied to various things that relate to the region in which the grass grows:
Arthel Lane "Doc" Watson (March 3, 1923 – May 29, 2012) was an American guitarist, songwriter and singer of bluegrass, folk, country, blues and gospel music. Watson won seven Grammy awards as well as a Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award. Watson's flatpicking skills and knowledge of traditional American music are highly regarded. He performed with his son Merle for over 15 years until Merle's death in 1985, in an accident on the family farm.
Watson was born in Deep Gap, North Carolina. According to Watson on his three-CD biographical recording Legacy, he got the nickname "Doc" during a live radio broadcast when the announcer remarked that his given name Arthel was odd and he needed an easy nickname. A fan in the crowd shouted "Call him Doc!" presumably in reference to the literary character Sherlock Holmes's sidekick Doctor Watson. The name stuck ever since.
An eye infection caused Doc Watson to lose his vision before his first birthday. Despite this, he was taught by his parents to work hard and care for himself. He attended North Carolina's school for the visually impaired, The Governor Morehead School, in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Virginia!
I've got my eyes plied on Virginia
She toils the spoiled in me
Rises the boil in me
I ask her what makes her so old
Turns cold
Tells me I'm bold
Whispers the words,
"I'm done trying"
Lying about crying, I try replying
Drip sniffling nose
I know what she knows
You're old the second you're done trying
Virginia!
Virginia!
Basement shows in our ugly kid scene
Old hands grab but don't understand
Boys kissing boys kissing boys kissing boys
