Fred,
After reading the article at Wikipedia, I've left wondering if such an attitude mine not also be reflected in much Bluegrass music.

an excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudadehttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saudade
Use in Goa, India
Goa, India, which was a Portuguese colony until 1961, still retains Portuguese influences. A suburb of Margão, Goa's largest city, has a street named "Rua de Saudades." It was aptly named because that very street has the Christian cemetery, the Hindu smashant (crematorium) and the Muslim quabrastan (cemetery). Most people living in the city of Margão who pass by this street would agree that the name of the street could not be any other, as they often think fond memories of a friend, loved one, or relative whose remains went past that road.
