  I was being sarcastic.:rolleyes: True why didn't they create any of the American musical forms. Jazz, R&amp;B, Blues, Rock 'n' roll even white music like country(heavily influenced by blues)? Simple there were no blacks in the north to invent the music.  I already explained this to you in my previous post. Almost all Scots-Irish who settled in America did so in the south, particularly the Appalachian and Ozark mountains regions. Any small numbers who settled in the north were quickly assimilated into the local culture. Most(or all) Scots Irish descended people who live in northern states like my home state, Michigan today is because their ancestors came up here to work in the factories in the late 19th and throughout the first half of the 20th century.     The Scots-Irish down south were isolated from outside influence up in the mountains of Appalachia and the Ozarks. They did not have outside influence on their music and culture which is why they developed such unique styles based off of Celtic music and Irish/Scottish Folk music. It is important to note, that in case you are confused Scots-Irish aka Ulster Scotts are not actual Irish. They are Scottish blooded people from northern Ireland.    COUNTRY was NOT heavily influenced by the Blues you moron. Country-Western music was being played long before the Blues existed. Blues was heavily influenced by Country-Western and Celtic inspired Folk music from Appalachia. Were you not paying attention? :rolleyes:
