Oracle of Bluegrass Bacon

[jMyles]

Similar to the Oracle of Bacon (https://www.oracleofbacon.org/), we need an oracle which can take any known picker and show her connection to another known picker.

For example, if you put "Pepa Lopera" and "Billy Strings" as a pair, The Oracle of Bluegrass Bacon will produce the various paths by which these two are connected, including metadata about the connecting node. For example, one path is:

• Pepa Lopera -=>
• devconVI Bogota
• -=> Justin Holmes -=>
• Vowel Sounds -=>
• -=> Jake Stargel -=>
• Whiskey Before Breakfast -=>
• -=> David Grier -=>
• Angeline The Baker -=>
• Molly Tuttle
• To Lay Me Down -=>
• -=> Billy Strings

...obviously this is not the shortest connection, but I use this one to demonstrate the various possible types of node (live show, studio recording, session recording, etc).

Having this data broadly available as a public service will, first and foremost, be super fun for us to use as bluegrass geeks ourselves, but also is a crucial part of our inroads journey and medium-term adoption.

This is fun and cool and I can see how this could have a neat 3d visual weblike presentation too where you could follow the Kinnex lines to the wheels (individual people).
