IBMA
(International Bluegrass Music Association)
Membership
Presence
The
chart below shows the presence of IBMA members in USA,
adjusted by the current
electoral college chart for US presidential elections.
This method may show
a better "per-capita" presence of bluegrass in
each state.
example:
West Virgina and South Carolina show 15 IBMA members each but WV gets a better
rating on "Electoral Strength" due to its lower electoral college number
of 5 against 8 of SC.
The survey was based on a large quantifiable number
of IBMA members in august 2005 (not the total number) identified
by US state or foreign country location. For Non-US members
the comparable electoral college base was ajusted in proportion
to each country´s population in relation to USA.
example:
Finland with a population of 5,2 million people would comparably obtain an
electoral
college of 10 in USA (similar to the state of Maryland)
