Why do you pick lemongrass?

Haha! Thanks for the welcome Pete.
My name is a combination of alot of things. I play guitar in the style of Leo Kottke and such. And I have sort of developed this pseudo bluegrass/newgrass/folk/noise rock sort of style. I asked one of my friends what he thought it sounded like, and his reply was "If you let a bunch of bluegrass go sour, that'd be it" and so I thought, lemons are sour, therefore I will call this style lemongrass. So I began calling it that.
Come a few years later, a person who had seen me play live recognized me and shouted "Hey! You're that guy, the lemongrass picker!" and I liked the sound of it.
Plus I really enjoy alot of Asian cuisine which sometimes uses lemongrass (well, alot at times). So it all just fit together nicely.
