I can't think of well known examples, but here's my 'Phelp's Flats', played in open G, but it starts on the Vmi, or Dmi chord:

Context Howard, the OP was looking at pages in a "bluegrass book", and doesn't know what they mean by the "key of G". Occam's Razor, sorta, in a case like this eh?
BTW, Loved Phelp's Flats.
